Meet the Owner,
Amanda Rothbart

Before creating Raise Playspace, I was an educator with a degree in Early Childhood and 12 years of teaching experience. Working in public schools and nonprofit early intervention centers I understood the importance of support for both children and their families. After leaving the classroom to raise my children, I quickly realized the resources and support I was seeking were few and far between. I set out to make a place for children to learn through play and for parents to catch their breath and know they are not alone. By connecting with eachother and our children we can feel more grounded, empowered, and supported. My hope is that Raise feels like home and a breath of fresh air and I can’t wait to meet you there.

 
 

When I’m Not at Raise I’m…

Adventuring with my family, spending quality time with friends, or baking a sweet treat.

 

 My favorite parenting hack:

Hot glue the holes in bath toys to avoid mold. Oh and snacks, always pack snacks!
