Play n Learn Apps was founded in 2013 by a sister team that has extensive childcare experience.
Deborah and Nancy Mossman are sisters the creative team in their company Play and Learn Apps. They have been working with children for over 15 years as preschool teachers, television producers, and running a playland and theme party business. They also have significant experience working with special needs children and developing play programs that develop preschool skills in a fun way. Their philosophy of learning through play has been practiced n many forms such as developing a series of children’s classes that were based on that theory in their playland.
Along with working hands on with children they started their producing journey with making children’s television shows and they produced many pilots and puppet interstitials that they pitched at the Banff Television Festival. From there they got a deal with CBC and worked with many executive producers and professional writers to further enhance their scripts and idea’s. But with the changing times the sister team realized television was not going to be as mainstream as it had been in the past and they decided to focus their creativity on making apps.
Now 5 years later and with over 6 million downloads the sister team has successfully delved into the app design world and they have found there base for reaching children in a fun and creative way, as well as keeping true to their learning through play philosophy by making apps that are not only fun but based on learning preschool skills as well.
Deborah and Nancy are excited to continue their creative journey and have also become children’s authors and released two storybooks called Construction Dreams and ABC Construction. They have more storybooks on the way and they are thrilled to be able to release them as apps very soon. They believe that apps give the developer and the user a special bond that should be used carefully, especially with children’s games, and they make everything they do with the knowledge that they are tapping into children’s imaginations and teaching them as they play.
