Josephine Sanders (Co-Owner)
Originally from London England, Josephine Sanders has a Masters Degree in Learning and Organizational Change from Northwestern University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Math, Statistics and Computing from Guildhall University , UK .
After working for more than a decade as an international technology consultant and having twin boys, Josephine obtained her graduate degree and refocused her passion and talent to dedicate herself to early childhood development.
Josephine believes that in order to develop socially, emotionally and cognitively, children need plenty of free, unstructured play – in other words, lots of old-fashioned free playtime. Children learn the most when they are having fun.
“Room2Play enables me to use all of my talents both as a business professional and a parent to bring learning and fun to families in Chicago.”
Sherri Murphy (Co-Owner)
A Chicago resident for the past 20 years, Sherri Murphy began her career as a flight attendant at United Airlines and later became a realtor. Sherri’s extensive background in customer service, experience in real estate development and her search for suitable learning environments for her young son demonstrated to her the need for quality indoor children’s recreational facilities in the South Loop for area parents.
After enrolling her own son in classes and activities to promote socialization, exercise, an appreciation for the arts, and educational growth, and finding herself among a growing number of South Side parents searching for neighborhood options, Sherri devoted herself to bringing to the community a creative and open environment for parents and children that promotes learning through play.
“Room2Play employs innovative and fun teaching techniques for children, and provides the type of services that many area parents had been lacking or could find only in other communities.”
