Organization Information
Mission Statement
Our mission is to increase equity for early developmental play experiences by increasing child access to high-quality, developmentally appropriate toys, and to decrease toy-related waste by sharing toys instead.
Description
Play it Forward is a non-profit whose goal is to partner with community organizations (specifically the public libraries in South Florida) to establish toy libraries in locations easily accessible to families with young children, with toys available to rent for free. Inventory will include specific adaptive toys for children with various physical, cognitive, developmental, and social-emotional delays, and inclusive toys to provide diverse representation and expose all children to diverse abilities, cultures, races, languages, etc. In collaboration with the Miami-Dade Public Library System (MDPLS), we are working to establish a toy library network where families can easily access and check out developmentally appropriate toys for infants, preschool and elementary age children for free.
