Ms. Davis is tickled to report she completed her Playmaker U training over the summer! (She's feeling very Brady three boxes down on the right.) One of the BEST parts of graduating is she gets to invite a colleague to take the course for FREE; so far, three grown-ups have expressed interest!
Play is such a great way to build multiple skills-- physical, cognitive, emotional, interpersonal... Any day is a great day to read and play! With some creativity, play can happen just about anywhere for 0 dollars!
Last night, we celebrated 88 INCREDIBLE new graduates of Playmaker University.
As Steve Gross, our Chief Playmaker, shared during graduation:
"Playmakers are the fuel and energy behind this movement. They’re the people who go the extra mile to help kids heal, grow, and thrive."
This latest class represents professionals working with children and families across early education, enrichment, behavioral health, schools, and medical settings.
And we loved hearing what some of our newest Playmakers had to say:
“I’ve been teaching for 25 years, and the tools I learned in Playmaker University is so aligned with what education should be.”
“I love creating a classroom where kids can walk in and feel refreshed, no matter what happened before they walked through the door.”
“Our new students this year settled right in, in large part because of the culture we’ve built from the Playmaker framework."
“I love being part of this amazing community where we all share the same values: joy, connection, creativity, and the belief that play can make a meaningful difference in children’s lives.”
Less burnout. More joy. Now that’s worth celebrating.
