PLAYTHINGS

Helping The Community

PlayThings are play to learn activities guided by practitioners for small group or in partnership with families. With this initiative, our goal is to promote great opportunities for practitioners working with children and families to be provided age and material appropriate supplemental curriculum material boxes to support the developmental needs of their children.  With access to the right resources, people can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential.
