Organic Play
Joyful learning for every child.
At Organic Play™, we provide play-based ABA services for children ages 1–7, along with training and consultation for early childhood educators and caregivers. Our approach is grounded in developmental understanding, responsiveness, and meaningful relationships, creating learning experiences that are thoughtfully tailored to each child. We believe children deserve joyful, developmentally informed opportunities that honour their strengths, identity, interests, and ways of engaging with the world.
What makes Organic Play™ unique is our integration of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) with JASPER (Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement, and Regulation), an evidence-based developmental intervention developed at UCLA. Organic Play™ is proud to be the only provider in the Simcoe and King regions offering ABA services delivered by JASPER-certified professionals.
For us, play is much more than the use of toys. Play is one of the primary ways young children communicate, learn, develop relationships, explore ideas, and make sense of their experiences. JASPER provides a specialized developmental framework that helps us understand how children participate, engage, communicate, and learn through play. By combining this expertise with evidence-based ABA practices, we create meaningful opportunities for growth that are responsive to each child’s developmental profile and natural interests.
Our work focuses on opening opportunities for learning and participation, recognizing that every child communicates, develops, and engages in their own way. By meeting children where they are and building from their strengths, interests, and curiosity, we create access to meaningful participation, communication, and learning for all children. This means designing experiences that are flexible, responsive, and grounded in developmental understanding so every child can participate in ways that feel natural, motivating, and meaningful.
Our services take place within real environments such as the home, daycare, and community, where development unfolds most naturally. Through child-led experiences and responsive interactions, we create opportunities for learning that feel engaging, respectful, and deeply human while building skills that carry into everyday life.
At Organic Play™, we believe that meaningful development happens through relationships, participation, curiosity, communication, and play. Our goal is not simply to teach skills, but to create opportunities for children to participate more fully in the experiences, relationships, and communities that matter most to them.
As part of our long-term vision, we are in the early stages of developing the Organic Play™ daycare model. This future environment is being thoughtfully designed to extend our approach into a full-day setting, where tailored learning, curiosity, and responsive teaching come together to reduce learning barriers and create meaningful opportunities for all children.

Why intentional inclusion matters
The early years shape how children see themselves and how others respond to them. When a child is labelled as “challenging,” “silly,” “too quiet,” or “difficult,” it can interfere with their learning and confidence. Early developmental support helps every child, diagnosed or not, access the relationships, tools, and experiences they need to thrive.
How we support children
We look beyond behaviours to understand what a child is truly communicating. Instead of seeing difficulty, we see learning opportunities. Rather than interpreting quietness as disinterest or “silliness” as misbehaviour, we recognize these as unique expressions of curiosity. Through play-based learning, co-regulation, sensory support, and developmental observation, we help every child grow with confidence.
