At Playworks we believe in the power of play to bring out the best in every kid. We create a place for every kid on the playground to get active, build valuable skills, connect, and have fun. We partner with schools, districts, and community-based organizations to provide a service or mix of services, including on-site coaches, professional training for school staff who support recess, and consultative partnerships.
