Play & Thrive DC

We bring play and support families in marginalized communities closing the play gap as play is vital for building skills, confidence, and growth.

Play and Thrive DC will host caregiver and child developmental play groups for infants, explorative play which is sensory driven, music classes, and puppet show all for FREE for qualifying families. We are in need of funding to secure a location and sensory materials such as ball pits, kinetic sand boxes, toys, books, arts and crafts, instruments, and baby gear.
