With colorful and interactive playspaces ready for kids, WeeZee marked its arrival at Chappaqua Crossing on Tuesday with a special grand opening gala and ribbon cutting.
At 16,000 square feet inside a brick office building on the former Reader’s Digest campus, WeeZee offers an array of unique attractions that give it an experience meant to stimulate kids’ senses. Example include a Rain Forest and Storm Zone that is for experiencing wind and water, and stalls for sports and reaction training to help with hand-eye coordination and a light room, to name just a few. Children who can benefit from it include those with sensory problems and those on the Autism spectrum.
WeeZee is a dream come true for Briarcliff Manor resident Louise Weadock, who is its founder and chief executive. Weadock, a registered child psychiatric nurse, has a daughter who was diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder. As a result, Weadock had her home turned into a playspace in its own right.
Weadock is a believer in the importance of supporting children’s senses, and believes that providing support for them when they’re young will help them when they get older.
“It’s all about your sensory nervous system” she said. “We are what we respond to, and what we respond to is what we receive through our eyes, our nose, our ears, our sense of touch, our taste and in our overall wellbeing.”
Weadock is also founder of ACCESS Nursing Services, which will be relocating from Pleasantville to share space in Chappaqua Crossing…………
