Who We Are

A Talented Team That Has Fun Promoting Play

Pure Play Every Day was founded in 2017 to empower pure play for every child, so they could reap the intellectual, emotional and social benefits inherent in self-guided, unstructured play. Along the way, we’ve expanded to include adults because play is no less important and beneficial as we grow older.

Led by our founder Patty Stine, Pure Play Every Day has grown to include a talented, dedicated staff, as well as our Board of Directors and Advisory Council.

Together, we’re always looking for new ways to share the benefits of Pure Play Every Day.
