The Perfect Playground

I have worked at The Perfect Playground for 8+ years. I have been both a full and part time employee. The company has allowed me to structure my hours around what works best for my family. They gave me the flexibility to choose morning or afternoon/evening hours when I was only working part time after having kids. Being a commuter from NJ I have been offered school placements within close proximity to the bridges to make traveling easier. Both the OT supervisors and compliance officer have always been available to answer questions and guide me through the paperwork process when changes come about from the Department of Education. It was particularly comforting when I was a new therapist having a supervisor go in with me to my first school to help train and orient me, introduced me to the staff and assist with making my schedule. The fact that the majority of our paperwork is now done online makes it easier for me to complete as I can do it at night once my kids are asleep or on the weekend when I have more time. I love working in the clinic in addition to the schools. There is a real team collaboration between the therapists in each discipline. The speech therapists are willing to carryover what I'm doing in OT during their sessions and vice versa. I never mind answering questions from newer graduates or therapists new to pediatrics. We have an open door policy amongst the staff with the best interest of the children at heart.

I am a new graduate Occupational Therapist.  I am so glad I chose The Perfect Playground as my first job.  They worked with me to find an ideal schedule and do not give therapists more than 2 schools to work at.  Although in- person supervision in limited, supervisors are always available to help new therapists.  Whether I have clinical questions, technical questions, scheduling questions, or just need to vent, I always feel supported and am given the resources I need to move forward.
During the Covid-19 “pause”, The Perfect Playground stepped up to the challenge instantly.   They provided me with a new telehealth platform (as we could no longer provide in- person school sessions).  They went above and beyond to give us guidance, resources, Q & A sessions, and keep us employed.  I am able to stay employed, while working from home.  This company appreciates and respects their therapy staff and shows great thought and care for the children we support.

I have been working at The Perfect Playground for over 5 years and throughout all of those years, it has been a great place to work. The staff, from management to the billing department to our phenomenal therapists, function as a tight-knit unit. We help each other to achieve our prestigious rehabilitation service goals. Our therapists provide the best care to the children in need of rehabilitation services throughout the state of New York. Our office accommodates the schedules of the parents and the children. Moreover, our management works tirelessly to create a much desired work/life balance for our therapists through open communication and flexible scheduling. These concepts make it an ideal work environment for any therapist that joins our group. This company places great emphasis on both client and employee satisfaction. For these reasons, this has been a rewarding and enjoyable job for me, as well as my colleagues at The Perfect Playground

I love working at the Perfect Playground. The management team is great and have been incredibly supportive during COVID and beyond. I can go to my supervisor with anything. Their open door policy made transitioning from life as a student to a professional a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. My only complaints are with compensation and benefits. You are paid per session so when students don't show up you don't get paid and the cost of benefits is very high, however this is beyond the control of the team at Playground. I enjoy the work I do, I love the school I'm assigned too, and I enjoy my job a lot. The ideal candidate for a position here needs to be self-motivated and flexible. 

I have worked as an OT for The Perfect Playground since 2018 and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The supervisors are always available for questions, whether clinical or office related.  Management and the supervisors are also organized and clear with expectations (billing, paperwork, etc). All paperwork and billing is done online which makes things easy.  Hourly pay is competitive and continuing education stipends are available.  During my time with this company, I worked in either 1-2 schools during the week and mostly had a full time caseload (sessions throughout the school day with a 30 minute unpaid lunch break). I would definitely recommend working with The Perfect Playground to those who are interested in working with an agency. 

The Operations Team at The Perfect Playground is top notch. I could not be happier with working here right out of my Masters. They work with therapists to optimize your schedule and provide regular training to ensure that you are supported. If I ever had a question about how to navigate an IEP or intervention planning my team was always readily available and provided pertinent feedback. I appreciated the freedom to practice as a clinician and put to use all I learned in school all while feeling supported having a strong team on the backend.  

Working at The Perfect Playground had been a fantastic experience.
The office staff and administration is very cooperative and supportive to your needs.
You have many options for school assignments and working environments (Public/Private/Charter Schools/Sensory Gym).
Part Time or Full Time work options with full benefits if needed. They even offer a matching contribution to the 401k plan.
All paperwork is ELECTRONIC and streamlined

Perfect Playground is an excellent staffing agency. They take your needs (i.e. commuting time, population) into consideration when looking for school placements. There are also OT, PT and speech supervisors available for clinical supervision. Additionally, when you reach out for assistance, you are always communicating with a therapist and questions are responded to quickly. I highly recommend the Perfect Playground. 

I am very happy after numerous years working for The Perfect Playground. One of the best aspects of the company is the flexibility offered to its employees. I have worked as little as five hours a week and as much as 60 hours a week always getting paid on time and never having to wait for a paycheck like other agencies I have worked for. The director and supervisors have open door policies making it easy to get assistance when I needed it. I have nothing but good things to say about The Perfect Playground.

I have been employed with The Perfect Playground for almost 10 years now. Our office provides a friendly & pleasant workplace. My co-workers and I have a well working relationship, and we work together as a team.  Also, engaging & providing a comfortable environment for the students and parents that come to our facility for services is very rewarding too.
The Perfect Playground also provides good work /life balance as well.
