June 11 is International Day of Play, established by the United Nations General Assembly in recognition that play is a fundamental human right for all children.
At Families Together we celebrate play every day of the year! As we look to our children's future and think about all the challenges ahead, such as AI and climate change, it's more important than ever that children engage in open-ended play that expresses creativity, practices problem solving, and fosters compassion and kindness.
