Philosophy of Playspaces for Hospitalized Children
Playspaces are a child's haven. It is the one aspect of a child’s hospitalization wherein he/she has some control of the hospital. A child can decide to come to the playroom and participate in special activities, free play, or may choose not to come at all. Play spaces allow children to have an opportunity to socialize with children that may share similar experiences.
Playspaces are equally important to siblings, as well as the hospitalized child. Dedicated spaces for recreational play and guided activities offer parents and caregivers peace of mind to focus on the needs of the hospitalized child.
Playspaces
There are over 10 playspaces in the hospital to provide patients opportunities for play and respite. Children and their families are welcome to explore a variety of recreational activities.
- Arts & Crafts
- Pretend Play
- Reading
Hours of operation vary by Playspace.
