Family Play Week

Family Play Week is designed with families, as a week-long day experience for children birth to 6 years old living in the City of Boston. Family Play Week engages children and their families in meaningful family play during the summertime through collaboration with places where families can stimulate their children’s curiosity.

At Family Play Week, children and their families will participate in formal workshops and more informal learning and sharing. There is critical time built into each day for opening and closing circle, loosely structured playtime, outdoor playtime, and transitions. Family Play Week is created to ensure both adults and children have time to build relationships, share knowledge, and explore their communities.

  1. Build a mutually beneficial partnership for authentic learning and family engagement
  2. Create experiences that will support families as they connect with other families and the community at large
  3. Celebrate the power of play!
