According to the CDC and the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, early childhood trauma and toxic stress are the greatest health risks facing our children.  The data also identifies responsive relationships with adult caregivers as the most critical component to successful trauma treatment. The Life is Good Playmakers recognize those who work in our schools, hospitals, and social service agencies as uniquely positioned to help kids heal, grow, and thrive. Through our signature Playmaker Program, we help more than 12,000 child-care professionals and organizations create optimal environments and life-changing relationships for the kids they serve - improving the quality of care delivered to more than 1 million kids every year.
