heuristic play

In 2017, after playing with the concept for many years, Angela decided to take the plunge and start ProjectPlay.

Angela is a fully-registered ECE Teacher with a Teaching Bachelor’s Degree. She has over 10 years of private/corporate early learning centre teaching experience and has served as a liaison instructor, mentor and headteacher. She has a keen interest in infants’ and toddlers learning and development.

In sunny Hawke’s Bay, ProjectPlay is a kiwi-owned and run family company. Angela strives to bring consistency, open-ended loose parts and services for children ages 0-6 alongside her husband and son. For opportunities that inspire and spark the imagination, they do all the hard work and scour the neighbourhood and the globe.

They value real, authentic play experiences for children. Project Play is inspired by Montessori, Rudolph Steiner and Pikler philosophies while also supporting the theory of loose parts.
