Playground Partners Program at Lunch Recess

PLAYGROUND PARTNERS “IT'S HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME!”

 

WHAT IS PLAYGROUND PARTNERS?

OUR MISSION

 

To provide an outdoor program for Kindergarten-8th grade students that build self-confidence, models effective communication and conflict resolution skills, and encourages positive behavior on the playground.

 

OUR VISION

 

One of the goals of education is to provide a well-balanced curriculum that supports students intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally. Recognizing that elementary aged children spend one fifth of their school day on the playground, Playground Partners has created a path to secure the social and emotional well-being of students on the playground. As educators and parents know, when a child feels safe and confident, their capacity to learn is enhanced. By implementing a fun outdoor curriculum which models teamwork, sportsmanship, conflict resolution and respect for others, the playground becomes a valuable resource, and in some cases, the first experience for a child learning those skills. With the Playground Partners program, schools and volunteers are making a paradigm shift in the way playgrounds are regarded by extending the well-balanced curriculum throughout the school, from the classroom to the farthest ends of the playground.
