Defenders of Playtime

Why we do what we do

We believe that playtime is the most important time of the day for kids from 1 to 100, and we incorporate the spirit of play into everything we do here at Henry Bear's Park. Through play, we learn and grow and explore the world around us, and having the right tools and toys to play with can help develop curious minds, strong bodies, and invaluable social skills. So let's make time to play! “Play isn’t something separate from the daily grind of life. It is not something to finally get to when work ends. Rather, play, like music, is a force that we feel in our bones and that whispers in our heart. As kids demonstrate, play is not over there, but forever here and now.” ~ Vince Gowmon
