PLAYGROUND
TURN AFTER-SCHOOL HOURS INTO HAPPY, ENRICHING MOMENTS!
ARE YOU RAISING A CHILD WHO LOVES TO EXPLORE, IMAGINE, AND CONNECT, BUT DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO SPACES WHERE THEY FEEL TRULY SEEN?
YOU MAY WANT YOUR CHILD TO HAVE MORE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES AFTER SCHOOL.
Whether your child is looking for fun community connection, learning from home, navigating a big life transition, or just needs a little extra social support, CONNHUGH’s Playground offers a joyful space Monday through Thursday from 4:00 p.m - 6:00 p.m., from September to July where they can show up as themselves and be welcomed just as they are.
CHILDREN WHO EXPERIENCE STRONG SOCIAL CONNECTIONS ARE MORE RESILIENT, PERFORM BETTER ACADEMICALLY, AND HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER LONG-TERM MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES
ACCORDING TO THE HARVARD CENTER ON THE DEVELOPING CHILD, “RESPONSIVE RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN BUILDING A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR LIFELONG LEARNING, BEHAVIOR, AND HEALTH.”
CONNHUGH’s Playground prioritizes intentional relationship-building, giving children consistent, meaningful opportunities to connect, belong, and grow—especially important for kids with limited access to in-person friendships. This investment isn't just in after-school care—it's in your child’s lifelong development.
A JOYFUL ONLINE VILLAGE
CONNHUGH’s Playground is a vibrant digital community for children ages 8–13.
Led by compassionate facilitators, our after-school sessions are packed with fun, engaging activities that build confidence, cultivate joy, and help children feel seen and supported.
This is designed for children. If they have access to a laptop and Wi-Fi, they have a village.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Each CONNHUGH’s Playground session is a lively, interactive experience designed to help your child connect, grow, and have fun, all from the comfort of home.
Led by compassionate, trained facilitators, sessions guide children through creative games, expressive activities, and community-building exercises. From trivia and custom games based on kids’ interests to silly debates and low-pressure improv, every session is designed to spark joy and conversation.
Kids might showcase a magic trick or musical talent, take part in gratitude circles, or join in a “What’s on Your Mind?” chat to share how they’re feeling. They’ll explore photo prompts, work together to solve puzzles or virtual escape rooms, and build group stories one sentence at a time. Even the icebreakers are intentional, designed to foster a sense of belonging and strengthen community.
HOW IT WORKS
CONNHUGH’S PLAYGROUND IS MORE THAN JUST AN AFTER-SCHOOL OPTION
IT’S A SPACE WHERE YOUR CHILD CAN BUILD REAL FRIENDSHIPS, GROW IN CONFIDENCE, AND FEEL A GENUINE SENSE OF BELONGING.
And for you, the parent or caregiver, it’s a moment to breathe, reflect, and connect with others who understand the joy and challenge of raising children today.
We know you're doing your best. Let us help you do even better… with connection, compassion, and community at the heart of it all.
