Who are the Life is Good Playmakers?

Life is Good Playmakers support childcare professionals and organizations to create life-changing relationships and optimal environments where our most vulnerable kids can heal, learn, and grow.

Early childhood trauma is the single greatest health risk facing our kids today. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are all types of abuse, neglect, and other traumatic experiences that occur to kids under the age of 18. Life expectancy of children who experience six or more ACEs is reduced by 20 years. Positive relationships with adult caregivers are the most critical component to successful early childhood trauma. For 30 years, Life is Good Playmakers have been harnessing the power of optimism to create healing, life-changing relationships for kids in need.
