"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." -George Bernard Shaw
Play is at the heart of our mission because that is how children make sense of their world. Through playful exploration, they build the curiosity, confidence, and problem-solving skills that shape learning for life. When all children and caregivers share meaningful moments of play, our whole community grows stronger.
Your support fuels that impact. A gift today helps CMoR bring hands-on learning beyond our walls, equip caregivers with simple tools to spark learning at home, and ensure every child has enriching opportunities to learn through play.
