Today is International Day of Play and it's what Wonderhub is all about! 🌍🎉 It's a time to celebrate the power of play, raise awareness about how central play is to every child's development and well-being, and come together to make sure every child can fulfil their right to play.
This year's theme is "Protect Play, Protect Childhood", a reminder for all of us that happy and healthy childhoods are built on play. Play builds creativity, resilience, and social skills, laying the groundwork for lifelong learning and well-being. And in too many communities, children's access to safe spaces to play freely is shrinking. That's why places like Nutrien Wonderhub matter.
We are committed to being a safe, inclusive, and accessible community resource that naturally encourages children of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to explore, discover, and learn through play. Through hands-on exhibits and educational programming, we bring children and families together to create, learn, and play without boundaries. Through the Access Program at Wonderhub, we continue to work to remove barriers so that more children and families in our community can experience the joy of learning through play.
You can take part in play wherever you are, whether it’s visiting a children's museum, trying out a new play idea with your kids, or helping raise awareness with your friends and family about the importance of play and community resources like Wonderhub. Today and every day, play matters.
