The Life is Good Kid's Foundation Positively Impacts Over 1 Million Kids Every Year.
What We Do
The Life is Good Kids Foundation partners with leading childcare organizations supporting the men and women who dedicate their careers to helping children heal from early childhood trauma.To date, they have delivered transformative training and professional development to thousands of childcare professionals- including teachers, social workers, counselors and child life specialists.
Why We Do It
We are in the life-changing relationship business.
We believe that healing, life-changing relationships are the foundation of making life good for kids. Research shows that even ONE trusted relationship with a skilled, loving adult can help protect children from the catastrophic, long-term effects of childhood trauma.
Many children are fortunate to be born surrounded by loving adults. Their parents, extended families and communities have the resources and abilities to support their children’s healthy development.
But, when there’s not a skilled, loving adult at home – or tragic circumstances (illness, disaster, poverty) overwhelm a child’s system of care – a critical line of defense comes from the men and woman who dedicate their careers to helping support the healthy development of children. These childcare professionals – we call them Playmakers – can be found in schools, camps, hospitals, and in a wide variety of social service agencies.
The Life is Good Kids Foundation believes that every child needs a Playmaker. By partnering with organizations serving the most vulnerable children, we help childcare professionals nurture life-changing relationships that serve as the source of healing and vehicle of learning for all children.
