$55 (FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE)
Join play:groundNYC for our semi-annual Introduction to Playwork training, led by our Program Director and Head Playworker, Yoni Kallai. No prior experience required. Playwork is the practice of supporting children’s play by removing barriers, balancing risks and benefits, and recognizing kids as equal human beings. It’s a valuable approach for anyone interacting with children—parents, educators, childcare providers, therapists, and more.
Learn how Playworkers engage with play in thoughtful, responsive, and playful ways that can strengthen your own practice. URL: https://forms.gle/vCwtGqAzeaJVyzKM8
