Let's Do This

Summer often leaves kids with lots of unstructured time. This is a great opportunity to encourage play and learning! Play is essential for healthy development. It helps young people build skills like planning, organizing, cooperating with others, and managing emotions. It also supports language development, math and social skills, and even stress management. Through play, children can explore, create, and grow in fun and meaningful ways.
