The Green Playground started when Miss Diana Egocheaga, founder of Green Art Studio, decided to take on a joint venture with her daughter Adriana Egocheaga. Soon enough, their dream became a reality thanks to the support of family and friends. With Diana's 20+ years of experience in childcare and Adriana's combined experience as a mental health counselor and experience with sensory play, they created a multi-functional children's enrichment center in the heart of Boca Raton. As they open their doors to the community, Diana and Adriana remember the importance of family. They recognize the significance of family bonds and connections, and they treat everyone that walks through their doors as if they are a family member coming home.
