Every kid loves to play. Playworks focuses on this intrinsic desire as an entry point to increase physical activity while simultaneously teaching social emotional skills. We show educators how to use playtime and recess as a learning opportunity to model and teach fundamental skills that children need to succeed. In New Bedford, during 2022-2023, Playworks is partnering with 19 elementary schools across New Bedford in a variety of ways. 4 elementary schools are partnering through the year-long Team Up Consultative Program, 7 schools are receiving a week-long Recess Reboot intensive, and the remaining schools are receiving professional development training for teachers or weekly curated content to assist educators and families in bringing play to every child’s day.
