Playworks brings out the best in every kid, through play.
We help kids to stay active and build valuable skills through play. Partnering with teachers, principals, and parents, we make sure kids have the opportunity to contribute on the playground, in the classroom, and in our community. Learn more about our impact.
Before we partnered with Playworks, recess was a major disruption in our school day. I’ve recovered four hours a day that I used to spend addressing incidents from the playground. That time is critical.
