Our two day interactive workshop teaches proven strategies to foster a stronger sense of engagement, develop social/emotional skills, and enhance opportunities for physical activity. Taught by professional Playworks trainers, each workshop in the series draws on various learning styles and builds on core principles of child development. The program’s workshops include:
