For the July installment, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens will speak with Dr. Roberta Schomberg of Carlow University to learn about the importance of play as a fundamental part of children's learning and discover strategies for adding healthy activities into playtime.

Before and after the presentations, participants will also have the chance to speak with Let’s Move Pittsburgh Champion Schools which have been awarded grants for implementing healthy school programs, talk to UPMC Health Coaches, meet representatives from the Pittsburgh Playful Collaborative and browse helpful resources from community partners. This event is free to attend; however, advance R.S.V.P. is required.
