  • "Working for Play Makes has been a dream!"

    “Working for Play Makes has been a dream! I started working here as a new grad and initially was so anxious about having a good support system in place for me as a novice therapist. Landing this gig has been everything I could have asked for and more. The team is chock-full of knowledgeable therapists who are really so creative and have become like a family to me. The admin team is also so supportive! We have group outings organized by the clinic owner, which provide an opportunity for team members to bond outside of the regular clinic setting. I thoroughly enjoy the team, the work hours, and the overall rewarding nature of the job.”
