Listen Later

Today I'm speaking with Marc and Jenni, the husband and wife team behind Social Play Haus in Plainview, NY.  Social Play Haus was created with the needs of the modern family in mind with a focus on children and adults.

The space has an elevated bar menu featuring local beer as well as mindful dishes for the kids.  In addition to a remote working space there are children's activities including supervised play while parents work. 

Marc, a 15 year veteran in the corporate and customer service world, combined with his restaurant and event planning experience has funneled his creative juices to create a hip event space that balances both kid and adult cravings.

Jenni, a licensed clinical child psychologist and busy working mom, has 15 plus years of experience working with children and families in her private practice and other clinical settings. These experiences have cultivated her vision of creating an inclusive space for children and adults to explore, socialize and learn through prosocial interactions, positive reinforcement and modeling which are the foundations of positive child psychology. 

The unique space at Social Play Haus focuses on 5 elements;

  • elevated bar food and healthy options for kids.
