Lisa Clements-Galati

Lisa Clements-Galati is the owner and founder of Play To Learn, an online store specializing in educational and eco-friendly children's products.1 She established the business 12 years ago with a vision to create quality products that promote play and learning for children in a natural environment.1

Background and Business Philosophy

Lisa's passion lies in creating children's play spaces filled with aesthetically pleasing and beautifully designed products that encourage nurturing and meaningful learning.1 Her focus is on sourcing sustainable, non-toxic, and eco-friendly products that support fair trade practices.1 Play To Learn prioritizes stocking high-quality natural products, supporting both local Australian-made items and international producers.1

Personal Journey

Lisa's journey to founding Play To Learn was influenced by personal experiences. After facing challenges in starting a family, including a diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease, Lisa and her husband pursued international surrogacy, resulting in the birth of their daughter Milla in 2016.1 This experience led Lisa to become more conscious about the products she used and sold, diving deep into research about non-toxic and eco-friendly materials.1

Business Practices

When considering new brands to stock, Lisa follows a thorough vetting process:

1. She investigates the brand's philosophy
2. Requests detailed information about materials used
3. Asks for health safety data sheets for products
4. Verifies Fair Trade registration for applicable items1

Lisa's commitment to offering high-quality educational materials extends to parents, teachers, and educational institutions. Her expertise includes B2B relations and strong people skills, which contribute to her success in running Play To Learn.2

Through Play To Learn, Lisa continues to curate a collection of eco-friendly, non-toxic, and sustainable toys for children of all ages, reflecting her dedication to creating better play environments for children.3
