About Us

Playscapes is the leading resource for innovative, high quality activities and furniture for children. Our mission is to design activities that occupy, promote health, and encourage children to play well.

In 1979 we began offering our products in healthcare facilities. Today we serve hospitals, medical and dental offices, libraries, and children’s museums – everywhere children can benefit from engaging activities that ignite learning, promote good health and active lifestyles, and teach children to play well in self-directed ways.

The natural curiosity of children draws them to our products. Play holds a great many keys to the health and development of children. The visual, the tactile, the kinetic – all spark a sense of wonder and engagement that nourishes both mind and body.

We are proud to share our excitement and purpose with you and the children you serve.
