THE PLAY LAB
An Eco-Friendly Play Space Good For The Planet Better For the Kids

At The Play Lab, we spend a lot of time thinking about kids.
What they like to do, what challenges them,
what beneficial and unstructured play looks like,
and ultimately about the world we are collectively building for them.
First, at The Play Lab, we start by making commitments to always strive to improve.
We look for ways to find innovative, open ended, sustainable and ethical toys.
We offer discounts and donations to the local school community
and serve as many meet-ups for surrounding groups and local organizations.
Finally, diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of who we are.
Our commitment to these values is unwavering – across all of our work.
They are central to our mission and to our impact.

Together, we can create a world where every child feels welcome,
