When kids are deprived of play, their mental health suffers.

Over the past 50 years, the time kids spend playing outside and inside has plummeted. They're missing opportunities to bond, build self-control, be creative, and feel joy.

Free play is a key to happiness and growth.

Super excited that the new Director of the Iowa Department of Education has (checks notes) ZERO experience in a classroom or a school of any kind. No, really, thanks to all of you who voted for Ms. Reynolds.

We spend millions to implement research based practices. BUT, we ignore the extensive research that shows how play, recess, & physical activity, can improve focus, self regulation, and on task behavior, as well as academic achievement, interpersonal skills & mental health.
