On January 23rd, We Rock the Spectrum – Chicago Palatine opened its doors as a Private Sensory Facility Rental to the Chicago Palatine community! This is an exciting gym reopening for Illinois, as it is one of two We Rock locations in the state and is in high demand! During this time, We Rock the Spectrum – Chicago Palatine will be offering low capacity services, such as private sessions, pre-booked Open Play, and respite, to children of ALL abilities and their families to get the sensory play they need during this time.

Allie Hamilton is the new owner of the We Rock the Spectrum – Chicago Palatine facility. She is the mother of one son on the spectrum, Donovan. When she began her journey looking for safe and comfortable play places for her son, it did not take long to discover the difficult road ahead. Thankfully, she came upon We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym – a safe and therapeutic place where children of all abilities could play and learn together. This gym was exactly what she needed! After just one visit, she wanted to be a part of the WRTS – Chicago Palatine family. Allie is honored and excited to continue providing a place where no one ever has to say, “I’m Sorry!”

We Rock the Spectrum – Chicago Palatine has seen great success with bookings in just their first week of opening! The gym offers a range of sensory-fulfilling activities from specially designed sensory play structures, arts & crafts, music and games, and Open Play. We Rockers have the opportunity to play and explore in a fun sensory safe environment while promoting Play with A Purpose™.

To ensure the safety of all We Rockers, all visitors must pre-book their sessions with We Rock the Spectrum – Chicago Palatine. All services will be held at low capacities to limit exposure in accordance with Chicago city and state guidelines. In addition, all staff and participants will be required to wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines. Throughout the day and in-between sessions, the gym will be cleaned and disinfected by staff according to EPA and CDC standards.

Thank you to our new Chicago Palatine We Rock community for supporting us during this unprecedented time! We are so excited to see what the Allie and the Chicago/Palatine staff have in store for We Rock the Spectrum – Chicago Palatine! Let’s ROCK!
