Cape Cod TOY LIBRARY, INC.

We are a 501-(c)-3 non-profit organization, public charity, incorporated in 2017.

Our Mission

To foster healthy child development and learning through play by providing enriching, accessible, culturally inclusive, educational environments, resources and guidance for all children and families.
 

Our Purpose

1. To increase community play-based learning experiences for children, families, child care providers and educators.

2. To increase understanding of the lifelong need for play, as well as knowledge and skills to promote developmentally appropriate practices with children.

3. To facilitate children’s health and brain development including their social-emotional, cognitive, language, sensory-perceptual, creative and physical development.

Our Vision

Children’s need to play will be respected, nurtured, listened to and responded to in developmentally appropriate ways. Children and families will be equipped with the fundamental play-based learning experiences that give them the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to: 

• achieve successful relationships in families, school and work,

• realize joy in learning at school, work and life,

• express creativity and innovative thinking to their fullest potential,

• adapt to changes in their lives and the world, and

• lead healthy and socially-emotionally balanced lives.

What WE DO

We create Family PlayScapes, indoors and outdoors, and provide a Toy Lending Library as a Play Learning Resource Center to provide year-round access to high-quality educational resources and engaging learning opportunities for children and families, to support children's healthy growth and development.
