Today we started to lay the backdrop for a collective project for the Spark community in honor of Friend and Colleague Tammy. There are various cut outs available until February 19, that will be in the Maker Space and Imagination Station for anyone connected to the SPARK community to come, color a cut out to add to the canvas, and take a moment to reflect on Tammy’s love of play and joyful impact on her community. 💚

As we start looking to the new year, we have held onto some thoughts for a while now about dynamics we have seen and experienced. We would like to start having some deeper conversations in a four part unfiltered series, opening dialogue about some tougher themes and topics across the child life profession, how we can start supporting each other to build a more encouraging and positive future together in order to help our amazing profession grow, and have a larger reach for our communities. Go to our EventBrite page in our link tree for more information.

Thank you Dene and Post Bulletin for featuring our practice and the work of child life in the community! We are so grateful to work with incredible kids and families, and with so many amazing community partners!

Dagney Willey Adamson and Marne Perrin know that play and education can go hand-in-hand, especially for children facing big life changes or scary moments.

They are both certified child life specialists, professionals who are trained in child development and help those kids and teens cope with stress and trauma. Often, they work in hospitals, guiding pediatric patients through new, scary or painful things such as surgery or chemotherapy.
