Lifting the Spirits of Hospitalized Children!

Created from an Unfulfilled Need.

We discovered very quickly that most children's needs do not follow playroom operating hours!

Limited Schedule & Availability

Operation/supervision of the hospital playrooms typically are restricted by the availability of any hospital’s human & economic resources! When Oscar was hospitalized it became obvious pretty quickly that most children do not follow the schedule of playroom hours.

Restricted Mobility

There are times when the children, due to their diagnosis, medical condition or treatment are unable to leave their bed / room and go to the traditional playroom, thus completely missing the opportunity to engage in play even if limited.

Lack of Children's Services

We discovered that of 5,500+ hospitals throughout the US, few facilities have a playroom available at all and children are left to find entertainment on their own.

Close to 150 Mobile Playrooms!

Thanks to generous donations we now have close to 150 Mobile Playroom units in the U.S. and around the world.

If you are a healthcare provider seeking to offer a Mobile Playroom to your patients , or
if you know of a hospital/pediatric healthcare facility that could benefit from a Mobile Playroom, please contact us today!!
