Our programs are designed for children ages 0–12, with specific classes grouped by age to keep play safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.

Ability 2 Play programs are designed to support all children — whether they have developmental delays, are neurodivergent, or are typically developing. Our small-group classes are designed by licensed pediatric therapists and focus on building foundational skills like motor development, social interaction, confidence, emotional regulation, and body awareness in a fun, supportive environment.

We serve families in Garner, Clayton, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Cary, Raleigh, and surrounding areas. We are located at 160 Annaron Ct, Raleigh, NC 27603, which is right on the border of Raleigh/Garner/Fuquay.

For structured classes, each participating child must be registered. For Open Play, sibling policies may vary depending on the session — please check the event details or contact us with questions.

Children do not need to be fully potty trained to participate. We simply ask that parents remain present and assist with bathroom needs as needed. If not fully potty trained, please have your child wear pull-ups to their session.

Comfortable clothes for movement, water, and anything your child may need to feel comfortable. Grip socks may be required depending on the activity.
