Thank you for visiting beyond the playroom!
My name is Sarah Britton and I’m a former Nanny and Preschool, Kindergarten teacher turned stay at home Mom and Coach.
 
I am extremely passionate about early childhood education. I believe strongly that it is the most important stage of human development. 
 
After my son was born, I started to really think about how to integrate what I had learned during my teaching years into our life at home.
 
I began to explore and look for opportunities to expose my son to important educational concepts.  
 
I used my knowledge of how to set up an engaging classroom environment to create an engaging and purposeful play space at home. 
 
Since my husband is a Pastor we have moved around quite a bit-making 5 out of state moves over our 15 years together. 
 
In each home we have lived in, no matter the size (and there were some small homes along the way), I have made it a priority to create a purposeful play space for our son in each one.  A space that I knew he would be able to create, build and learn!
 
I believe strongly that there are endless, simple yet purposeful ways in which we can enrich the lives of our children at home. Through purposeful play we can equip our children for future school success by helping them build a solid foundation.
 
This website was built to empower you the parent! My mission is to inspire you to engage your child in purposeful play. 
 
Beyond the Playroom is a space where you will find ways to create a playroom that your child will thrive and learn in.  This is a place for you to get simple ideas on ways to teach early learning concepts to your child.  
 
This is a space where you will find the tools needed to provide a rich learning environment for your little ones!
 
Love,

beyond the playroom
