Early Learning Writer and content creator at JuniSprouts
Chloe is the content creator behind JuniSprouts — the person choosing which toys earn a place on the shelf, writing the blog and Learn guides, and sharing finds across the brand's social channels.

A parent first and a researcher by nature, Chloe started paying close attention to toys the way a lot of parents do: by watching what actually held her own kids' attention, and what quietly ended up at the bottom of the basket. That grew into a real love of digging into how young children learn through play — reading up on early development, trying toys out at home, and turning it all into plain, practical guidance for other families.
At JuniSprouts she wears a lot of hats: curating the collection, writing about toddler play and Montessori-inspired learning, and running social media. Her goal is a simple one — to help parents choose fewer, better toys that genuinely support how little ones grow.
Chloe's writing is educational, not medical. For any questions about your child's development, she always recommends speaking with your pediatrician.
What you can expect from every article on the JuniSprouts blog.
Articles lean on pediatric and safety sources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and nearly every article ends with its sources so you can read further.
Articles about recalls, choking hazards, magnets and other safety topics never carry product promotions.
Chloe works for JuniSprouts and helps choose the toys we sell. When an article mentions one of our toys it links to it, so you can check its age grading and safety details.
Every article shows when it was published or last updated, so you can see how current the advice is.
