We were excited to partner with DCPS to provide over 100 Academic PlayKits for students this summer! The games, art supplies, and workbooks that each child will receive help promote summertime play and combat learning loss. What ways do you like to keep your brain stimulated over the summer?

Kids are philanthropists, too! Playtime was honored to be chosen by students at East Silver Spring Elementary to receive a $1,000 at the Kids for Kids Fund Celebration back in April. The Giving Square gives kids the responsibility to grant funds to local organizations because kids put in the time, know their communities, and know what communities need. Being chosen BY children means so much to us at Playtime, as we work to support children's growth and sense of their own potential. Thank you, The Giving Square and East Silver Spring Elementary, for your generosity!
