Our Story
🌿A Hidden Gem
It all began on a 60-acre farm in Summerfield, NC—a place where children rode horses, fished and hiked, all while learning.
Today, Triad Play™ traded the farm for the classroom, offering holistic, child-centered care for children ages 4–12 in Greensboro. Our approach is deeply rooted in trauma-informed practices and includes ABA-informed support.
And if you were wondering—yes, that was us, riding a tractor on the farm-😊
