Listowel to welcome therapeutic play café
Imagine a place where children can safely explore and imaginatively play while their parents relax over a cup of hot coffee. Mother-of-three Emma Cullinane used to dream of such a place but has now turned that dream into a reality.
She will open Sense of Wonder, which she describes as “a therapeutic play café” in St Brendan’s Terrace in Listowel this Saturday, November 8th.
“This is something I’ve wanted to do for years,” she says. “I once read a quote that said it was easier to raise strong children than repair broken adults and it really stuck with me. It made me realise I wanted to make a difference in children’s lives and that’s what I now try to do in my work.”
