OUR DIFFERENCE

Where Design Meets Child Development

Smart Playrooms® was founded by Karri Bowen, M.Ed., a former preschool, elementary, and middle school teacher and the first designer to bring monkey bars to the ceiling. We design playrooms the way great teachers set up classrooms: so the room invites children to do exactly what you hope they’ll do.

Rooted in Montessori Principles

Encouraging independence, focus, and purposeful play

Designed for Sensory + Active Needs

Supporting how children move, regulate, and engage with their environment

Expert-Led Design Process

From consultation to final design, guided by designers who have masters degrees in Education

FOUNDED BY

Karri Bowen

Former educator and nationally recognized pioneer of purposeful, development-driven playroom design.
