💡 How can we help children build strong cognitive, social, and emotional skills, while also preparing them for the future? Playful Learning does just that - it combines joyful play with intentional learning. We're part of an interdisciplinary team implementing Playful Learning into affordable housing developments as part of Live and Learn, a groundbreaking pilot program designed to advance education equity. As part of the DesignPhiladelphia Festival, Live and Learn will be presenting two events in collaboration with ULI Philadelphia, The Carpenters' Company’, and KSS Architects. Learn more here.
