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.
Playworks over the years has changed our school. Our students are more respectful and use conflict resolution strategies to consistently resolve their own conflicts.
