ENORMOUS

Thank You to ALL

who have played a role

in supporting Family Play Days,

Toy Lending Library 

& Outdoor Play Oasis

It takes a village ...

           To date, support has come from 120 businesses,

14 foundations, 249 individuals, and engagement of 178 volunteers, locally and remotely, to bring these community resources into being for Cape children and families and those who come to visit the Cape!

Hear from community supporters!

Toys have been donated by 100+ families from across the Cape! 

In a mother's words: The Toy Library gives us parents the opportunity to borrow toys weekly. The staff gives us nice advice on what to borrow for my child. Due to the COVID pandemic, my child is slightly speech delayed. I looked up methods of how to improve my child's speech. One is play therapy, so we started our journey with the Toy Library. It's really opened a door to my child's world of communication. We're not just sitting together, we play together. We've started to understand what the child’s world is like. The child feels love from us.

$30 a month brought me a close relationship with my child. I love everything about the Toy Library! The staff’s knowledge will help me know what to borrow at each development stage. Thank you!   Lei Lancaster

   1,500 curated toys to choose from + 350 books on child development and play
