PLAY TIME
Area lets children to have fun, grow

All they want to do is play. Now, some of the youngest members of the TCU community are getting a new chance to have fun.

The Hill House play area in the Leibrock Village opened Dec. 7 and is open daily for use by any of the children so long as they have parental supervision.

The play area allows education students to use skills from their classes. By following a budget and carefully planning the contents of the playroom, the students put together a new, safe environment for the children to play.

Instead of saying goodbye to toys that can’t fit in crowded apartments or playing outside in the winter chill, there’s a warm place where the children can have fun and meet new friends.

An outdoor playground is something Housing Director Nancy Griese said she would like to see in the future. Right now, funds are unavailable. But for now, future playrooms are being discussed for other buildings.

We hope the children enjoy the new possibilities the playroom presents: an opportunity to interact with other children and use their imaginations in a way most of us no longer do.

After all, you shouldn’t let anything come between children and their toys.
