The play’s the thing (that helps kids learn and stay healthy)

Written By Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative

Pittsburgh has been named a Playful City by the Humana Foundation for three years now—but what are we doing to make sure more of us are playing, for all its impact on health and learning?

That’s the question that bothered Cara Ciminillo, director of operations for the Pittsburgh Association for the Education of Young Children (PAEYC).
