Step into a world of wonder and excitement at The Sensory Spot, Douglas County's premier play space designed to ignite the senses, inspire creativity, and celebrate the uniqueness of every child. 

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to create a sensory-friendly environment that brings together children of all abilities, fostering a sense of inclusivity, understanding, and joy. From our innovative sensory features to our commitment to celebrating diversity, The Sensory Spot is a place where every child can thrive and discover the magic of play.

As you enter The Sensory Spot, prepare to embark on a sensory adventure like no other. Our play space is thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse needs of both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, ensuring that every child feels welcome, valued, and understood.

The Sensory Spot welcomes visitors as a walk-in facility, prioritizing safety and sensory comfort with a limited capacity of 25 people at a time.

At The Sensory Spot, children can unleash their creativity on our chalkboard walls and engage in collaborative art projects, fostering connection and belonging. Our texture walls offer tactile exploration, while our felt walls provide a cozy space for imaginative play. Art tables brim with supplies for children to experiment and express themselves, and sensory bins promote hands-on experiences for sensory and cognitive development.




Recognizing the importance of fidget toys for children's focus and engagement, The Sensory Spot offers a diverse selection to meet various sensory needs. From squishy stress balls to tactile spinners, children can find the perfect fidget toy. Additionally, we provide comfortable seating areas for children and caregivers to relax and recharge, offering a peaceful retreat for quiet moments during play.

At The Sensory Spot, we celebrate diversity and believe that every child should have the opportunity to play, learn, and grow in an environment that honors their unique strengths and abilities. We are committed to creating a welcoming space where all children and families feel valued, accepted, and supported. By embracing diversity, we aim to foster a sense of belonging and understanding that transcends differences, uniting us in the joy of play and discovery.

To further enrich the experience of our visitors, The Sensory Spot hosts a variety of monthly events that cater to different interests, passions, and abilities. From sensory-friendly art workshops to inclusive play sessions, our events are designed to offer engaging and enriching experiences for children of all backgrounds. These events provide opportunities for children to connect, learn, and have fun in a supportive and inclusive environment.




In addition to our regular play space activities, our team is committed to collaborating with local organizations and experts to provide educational workshops, support groups, and resources that empower families and caregivers with valuable tools and knowledge to support children of all abilities.

We are dedicated to fostering a culture of acceptance, understanding, and celebration of diversity, and we are continuously seeking new ways to enhance our play space to better serve the needs of our community. Our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond our physical space, as we actively seek to create a supportive and welcoming environment that extends to every child, parent, and caregiver who walks through our doors
