Today’s guest is someone who knows that play is far more than just fun, it’s one of the most powerful tools we have for helping children learn, connect, and thrive. Sarah Kelly is a Speech and Language Therapist, a Montessori teacher, a mum of boys, and the founder of PlayEasy, an educational toy store. Working in her own private speech and language private practice in Churchtown, Sarah saw that parents were often unsure which toys could truly support their child’s speech, language, and overall development. So she began hand-selecting toys that don’t just entertain, but actively build skills, spark imagination, and meet children right where they are in their growth. In our conversation today, Sarah shares how her work as both a clinician and a mother shapes her approach, the signs parents can look for in a truly educational toy, and why the best play is often the simplest. She offers practical tips for weaving language development into everyday routines, busts some persistent myths about late talking, and reminds us that the most important thing we can give our children during playtime is ourselves. Whether you’re a new parent, or one who is time pressed but still wants to do the very best for their kids, or just someone who wants to understand how children learn through play, you’re going to love Sarah’s warmth, expertise, and advice. Thanks for listening as always, back next week with more.
