This week’s Good News in Early Education highlights organizations across the country taking intentional steps to encourage creative play, cultivate meaningful learning spaces, and support educators.

In California, an early learning center recognizes the importance of exploratory play, replacing its asphalt lot with an interactive learning garden.

In Iowa, policy-makers show support for educators throughout the state, officially passing legislation that provides free childcare for childcare workers who qualify for the program.

In Pennsylvania, an organization creates inspiring community play spaces that spark curiosity and encourage intentional intergenerational play.
