Magical PlayGardens

BLOOM’s Magical PlayGardens program provides vulnerable and underserved children with play spaces and play opportunities that allow them to have time outdoors, benefitting from nature, exercise and building community.

Play is critical for healthy development – it is necessary for a child’s social-emotional health, physical and cognitive development. BLOOM also trains community members and caregivers on how to incorporate play-based learning and trauma informed care into daily life.

Free, unstructured play is the greatest gift we can give children; Healthy, curious children are the greatest gift we can give society.
