Play Resources in Tampa Bay & Florida
Rooted in Play has worked with many of these organizations, and supports their programs to promote learning and development for children in Florida.
Glazer’s Children’s Museum Learn and Play
Learn & Play Tampa Bay has Neighborhood Play Squads* in your area every season! Your local Neighborhood Play Squad is a group of families who will be learning and playing together in weekly Learn & Play sessions over 10 weeks. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but modern parenting can be isolating. Our Neighborhood Play Squads are intentionally designed to help you form bonds with other families who are on a similar journey. By the end of the 10-week program, your Neighborhood Play Squad will feel like an extension of your “village.”

We offer a variety of programs that build strong parent-child bonds, support healthy child development, help grow parental confidence and skills, and improve family well-being.
