Playworks Colorado at the National Elementary and Secondary Act Conference 2025

Playworks Engages and Inspires at the ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act) Network Conference!

The recent ESEA Network Conference was an incredible opportunity for Playworks Colorado to showcase the power of play and connect with educators from across the country. Over the course of four dynamic days, we had the privilege of opening for the keynote speakers each morning, energizing over 3,000 participants with engaging attention-getters, interactive games, and team-building activities. These moments not only set a positive tone for the day but also highlighted the importance of play in creating inclusive, connected learning environments.

In addition to kicking off the conference sessions, we had the chance to make meaningful connections with school leaders, administrators, and educators who are eager to bring Playworks PRO professional development and our digital service, SparkPlay, to their communities. These conversations reinforced the growing enthusiasm for integrating play into the school day, ensuring that every child experiences a safe and engaging school experience.

We’re thrilled to share that Playworks will be returning next year for a featured session at the ESEA Network Conference! We’re excited to continue building on this strong partnership and explore even more ways to support schools with innovative tools and training that promote active learning and student well-being.

Playworks is committed to empowering educators through play, and we look forward to deepening our collaboration with the ESEA Network as we work together to bring the power of play to even more schools nationwide.

See you next year at ESEA — let’s keep playing and growing together!
