We teach early childhood professionals to help kids heal through play. The United States is amidst a children's mental health crisis, with depression, anxiety, and trauma rising at alarming rates. Early childhood professionals are perfectly positioned to be a powerful first-line of defense in addressing this crisis. We give them the training, resources, and ongoing support they deserve to do so. For over 20 years, we've helped a growing network of 30,000 professionals across the U.S. and Haiti use the power of play to build healing, life-changing relationships with children in their care. We call them Playmakers.
