Play to Learn

Enhancing Child Development Through Creative Play

It’s as simple as child’s play. The Play to Learn program promotes positive and healthy outcomes for our youngest children and supports parents and caregivers as they prepare their young ones for kindergarten. The programs have a variety of formats, including free, weekly two-hour play groups in Rutherford County, and Pop-up Events in McDowell and Polk County coordinated by the Barefoot Baby Foundation.

The programs involve parents/caregivers and are led by community facilitators that engage children and their caregivers in culturally and developmentally appropriate play activities. Through peer-to-peer and hands-on activities, parents and caregivers learn what they can do at home to support their children’s growth. In addition to the fun your children will have, meeting together provides parents and caregivers a sense of community and mutual support.
