The Play Well program teaches children about health and wellness through interactive classes and activities. It comprises a cross-section of programs geared toward school-age children. While it is unique, it can be replicated in other communities across the state.
Staff from many programs, as well as community partners, have teamed up to implement the program. It is promoted to schools, after-school programs, and summer camps and can be customized based on their needs and resources.
Play Well has been widely accepted in Wichita County and implemented at all Boys and Girls Club locations in Wichita Falls, as well as several schools in Wichita Falls and Burkburnett.
