You may be wondering…
What’s so different about Elevate Toddler Play?

What makes this play guide special?

Or maybe you’ve dismissed the idea, thinking, Do I really need this?

We get it—and we’re not saying our play guide is for everyone. But we do believe it’s worth far more than a new toy, the latest trendy subscription box, or your monthly coffee budget.

Why? Because it’s thoughtfully created to help you play with your child in ways that boost their language skills and set them up for success.

Here’s what one parent, Katie H., recently shared:
"All of it together is so comprehensive and really all you need."

If our guide can make that kind of impact in your family, we want you to know it. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain so you can see why it’s different—and why it’s worth the investment.

IT’s NOT A VIDEO COURSE—AND FOR GOOD REASON

Did you know only 5–15% of people who buy an online course actually complete it? Shocking, right? We find that statistic not only sad but a little wasteful.

It’s one thing to watch a video. It’s another to actually do something with what you’ve learned. That’s why we skipped the video modules and focused on a tool you can immediately put into practice.

we’RE AN ONLINE RESOURCE MADE FOR OFFLINE LEARNING.

Let’s be honest.

If you’re already finding it hard to make time to play with your child, do you really have hours to spend watching a course? Even if you could find 10 spare minutes, wouldn’t you rather spend it connecting with your child than staring at a screen?

That’s exactly why we designed the play guide—to help you skip the fluff and start creating meaningful moments with your child right away.

WE MAKE PLAY PURPOSEFULLY SIMPLE.

We know you’re busy. That’s why we’ve done the work to make playtime easier—and more meaningful—for you.

Think of our play guide like your grandma’s famous pie recipe: tried-and-true strategies that you can rely on. You pull from toys you already have, follow the prompts, and refer to the guide along the way to know exactly what to do and say to help your child grow.

The strategies we share are backed by research, loved by pediatricians, teachers, and parents, and proven to support communication skills.

We’re AN AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVE TO EXPENSIVE COURSES OR THERAPY.

We know how overwhelming it can feel to invest in your child’s development. Between therapy sessions, online courses, and parenting resources, costs can add up quickly—and it’s easy to second-guess whether you’re doing enough or doing it right.

Here’s the thing: while therapy and courses are incredibly valuable, they aren’t always accessible for every family. That’s why we created Elevate Toddler Play’s guide as a budget-friendly way to give you access to the same research-backed strategies and expert insights used in therapy sessions—without the high price tag or the doubt.

For less than the cost of one therapy session or a typical monthly subscription, our guide gives you:

Comprehensive tools and strategies you can use at home.
Guided play ideas and prompts that save you time and eliminate guesswork.
Peace of mind knowing you’re doing what you can, with what you have, right at home.

No more wondering if you’re playing the “right way” or wasting time searching for answers. With Elevate Toddler Play, you’ll feel confident and equipped to support your child’s language development in a way that’s simple, effective, and meaningful.

We believe every parent deserves access to these tools—because purposeful play shouldn’t come with a premium price tag.

With Elevate Toddler Play, you’re not just saving money; you’re investing in a resource that empowers you to take the lead in your child’s learning journey. Get ready to feel more at peace, knowing you’re making a real difference with the resources already at your fingertips.

Here are some of your favorite topics:

YOU ARE YOUR CHILD’S FIRST TEACHER.

Can we take a moment to encourage you?

You are the most important person in your child’s life.
You know your child best.
You can make a real difference in your child’s language development.

Research shows that children communicate most with the people who matter most to them. That’s YOU.

Therapists may work with your child for an hour a week, but you have countless daily opportunities to create moments of connection, communication, and learning—right in your own home.

Our play guide was made to take the guesswork out of these moments so you can focus on what really matters: spending quality time with your child and helping them grow.
