Play comes first.
Experiences invite children to explore materials and interests through hands-on play.
Sense Up School makes hands-on sensory exploration easier for families and early childhood educators.

Jennifer created Sense Up School from her experience as a parent of two and her work in pediatric occupational therapy, with a focus on sensory processing.
She saw a practical challenge: families want to explore and play with their children, but finding ideas, gathering materials, and managing the mess can get in the way.
Sense Up brings the materials and ideas together in parties, classes, and enrichment experiences—so children can discover new textures and activities and adults can enjoy being there.
Our website describes enrichment and play experiences. Individual evaluation and therapy treatment are not included in parties or classes.
Experiences invite children to explore materials and interests through hands-on play.
We discuss ages, activities, group needs, and logistics before planning your experience.
Prepared sensory materials and mobile experiences reduce the work of organizing something new.
