On 11 June, the International Day of Play, Katherine Lindsay Dunlop, PlayBoard’s Regional Coordinator for School-Age Childcare, spent the day with Children’s Care, Learning and Development students and lecturers at Northern Regional College, celebrating the incredible power of play!

As well as exploring play theory, the group enjoyed hands-on practical experiences that brought learning to life with plenty of fun and creativity.

Inspiring the next generation to share our passion for play is a vital part of our work. By supporting future childcare professionals and playworkers, we help ensure that play and childhood are protected and that children’s right to play is championed for years to come.
