Learning doesn’t only happen in a classroom—it happens everywhere you go with your child including the playground. Play in the park supports healthy brain development by strengthening language, counting, social-emotional skills, and curiosity. These playful moments help children enter school ready to learn. Visit Festival Park in downtown Elgin to take advantage of these learning opportunities.

Come visit the park to Learn through PLAY!



Thanks to Fit For Kids funding EPEL, Alignment Collaborative for Education, and City of Elgin combined efforts to design and install “Move, Play, and Talk” signs at Festival Park in Elgin. Signs throughout the play area offer early learning opportunities that complement the readiness skills needs for Kindergarten.
