Our Vision
Thyme and Play's goal is to bring sensory spaces to events and community outings all across the Upstate. Our desire is to ensure that individuals who already feel isolated, can engage with their community again in a safe and inclusive environment. Whether it's by providing a safe place, the equipment needed to accommodate, or by being present to aid in an events success. We want to be this area's answer to disability inclusion.
Our Mission
At Thyme and play we believe that every person deserves the opportunity to come together with their community. Regardless of ability. Our job is simple. Listen First, Accommodate when you can, and Celebrate every person that walks into our lives. We engage with Intention at every interaction. We are THYME and Play and there is no one more important right now, in this moment, than you!
