About Our Founder

Meet Samantha Prince, creator, founder, and director of Keyheart Sensory Gyms. Samantha graduated from the University of Madison with a degree in Psychology, along with specialized certificates in Biological Science, Genetics, and Abnormal Childhood Development.

She began applying her expertise by serving the community through organizations such as CHAPS, where she worked with at-risk youth, pairing them with horses to help address emotional challenges and trauma. Inspired by her mother, a Special Education teacher, Samantha also became actively involved in education as a substitute teacher, focusing on special education.

Guided by a strong commitment to helping others, Samantha has built her career around creating innovative, personalized solutions that promote accessibility and achievement. Recognizing the need for more engaging, therapy-based environments that integrate play and activity, she founded Keyheart Sensory Gyms.

Samantha’s mission is rooted in a deep belief in every child’s potential: “Every child possesses the purest ability to do amazing things. My goal is to remove barriers and allow them to shine in their own unique way. Creating a specialized environment that supports and encourages growth is essential, and every child should have access to tools that help them thrive. Together with my team, we strive to provide a service that brings imagination to life for all children.”

"I consider myself one of the luckiest people to have been blessed by Keyheart Sensory Gyms twice. I remember finding them online, reaching out and receiving a call back from Samantha immediately. We talked about my desire to have a sensory gym in my boutique speech therapy clinic and all the benefits it would have for the little ones we work with. Talking to Samantha always feels like talking to a fellow colleague in the therapy world. She’s so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does! Just imagine the impact a 10x12 square foot sensory gym has had on the lives of so many little ones coming for “Speech”. Or how all of the therapists in my clinic fight over using the sensory gym for their Speech Therapy sessions. I really appreciate Samantha for being tried and true, she has truly made an impact on my business and my life. Thank you Keyheart Sensory Gyms for putting a smile on my face and all the kiddos at Small Talk!"
