About PlayMatters - Unveiling the Magic of Childhood Enchantment

Our Journey

Embarking on the PlayMatters odyssey is a voyage fueled by pure passion and ignited by a singular moment in the lives of our visionaries, Isabel and Kevin. A gap of 18 years since their last child gave way to the incomparable joy of welcoming new life. This transformative experience stirred a blazing purpose within them: to create a haven where children thrive, nurtured by a blend of care and stimulation.

Crafting their diverse expertise in child development, marketing, and business administration, Isabel and Kevin conceived a realm where families converge, crafting indelible memories and embarking on a voyage of exploration and growth with their children. The birth of PlayMatters materialized from this dream, a tribute to the deep resonance of parenthood and the boundless possibilities of early childhood development.

The Maestros

At the helm of PlayMatters stand Isabel, a visionary armed with a degree in Psychology with a spotlight on child development, and Kevin, a marketing maestro fueled by an unquenchable passion for business administration. United by a shared devotion to children's growth and well-being, they wear the badge of parenthood with pride. Their treasury of insights forms the bedrock of PlayMatters' approach, a symphony of care and innovation.

A Symphony of Family Moments

At the core of PlayMatters' soul beats an unwavering truth: family moments are the tapestry of life. Isabel and Kevin's own narrative of welcoming a new child after a significant hiatus serves as an ode to the transformative power of kinship. This journey breathes life into PlayMatters, elevating the significance of moments shared with loved ones, a testament to life's beauty.
