Meet Our Team
Miss Sandy, Owner and Instructor
|
Hi everyone! My name is Miss Sandy and I am the proud owner of The Loft Creative Play Studio! I previously taught Pre School at a NAEYC Accredited school here in Pittsburgh for 16 years, and loved every minute of it. I'm a proud Mommy of 4 wonderful children and a super proud Grammie of 2 beautiful baby boys, two sweet baby girls and one more baby on the way! In addition to working as an educator, I created and implemented Creative Play Camps ( along with my good friend Kate), for children to have an opportunity to use their imaginations while creating freely with their friends. The passion Miss Kate and I have always had for the importance of Creative Play and the role it plays in the development of young children, led us to open our very own Studio. Miss Kate moved to Tennessee at the beginning of last school year to be closer to her family, but still remains active in the content planning of our sessions. I feel so blessed to work with, nurture, encourage and create with children of all ages. My time spent at the studio truly makes my heart so full!

Miss Christine, Party Assistant
|
Hi, I’m Miss Christine! I live in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, but grew up a little further north in Grove City. I’m a mom to 3 glitter loving girls, so there is never a dull moment in my life. From painting and artwork to sensory bins and sensory play, our home is filled with it all. My girls have absolutely loved every experience at The Loft, and in turn I’ve fallen completely in love with every part as well. The joy it brings every child that comes through, and the pride each child takes is just amazing.
My passion for children and crafting started at a young age. Starting with watching children in my church nursery, to teaching Sunday school, babysitting through the years and most importantly taking on the best teaching job - becoming a parent. I’ve always had a love of teaching, and watching someone learn something new. I’ve loved making all activities, big or small, fun and exciting for everyone. I can’t wait to meet all the kids that makes their way through the studio! |
About The Studio
|
Focusing on the process rather than the product causes children to feel so confident and proud of their work. We love putting together invitations to play, invitations to create, and fun sensory experiences for them to enjoy. We believe these experiences are crucial for child development! This passion we have for creative play is how our studio came to be!! I hope you will check out our schedule and come visit us at The Loft for some exciting Creative Play!

A Sister Venture

The Loft Creative Play Studio is neighbors with my sister Kathy's, boutique: Kat & Willie! Her store offers a fun place for parents to shop while the kids are in the studio. I have no doubt you will love it! We are having so much fun growing our businesses side by side and creating together!
