This would be an ideal job for a University student or a dedicated person with a flexible schedule who would like to try something that could make a huge differance in a litte boy's life.

For our child, it's been more than just a play centre, we allowed this play centre to be the object of his imagination, from being on a remote island to camping out in the wild. It's been a great asset during our therapy and peer play sessions.

It is in excellent condition, if you are interested please email us.
