Life is Good Playmaker Training
The
Life is Good Kids Foundation is holding its first Philadelphia Playmaker
training/retreat on August 6 & 7, 2011. This innovative program is
for teachers who work with children ages of 3 and 6 who live in poverty
and/or have experienced the trauma of violence, loss or illness. Playmakers
will learn how to use the power of joyful play to heal and strengthen the
children in their care. Selected teachers will also receive full scholarships
to attend the Playmaker training.
