About Shop n Play
Shop n Play is part of the P.L.A.Y. Network and Tandalay Curriculum.
At Shop n Play we provide equipment and products to help further the campaign for an improved and FUN Physical Education and Activity platform. All of our merchandise is hand selected to help YOU help the active youth in your community. We believe in Purposeful Learning for Active Youth of All Ages.
We believe that a good quality Physical Education program is essential for our students. Quality PE provides students with a myriad of essential learning experiences that cannot be duplicated in the classroom. Some of the benefits of a quality PE program are listed here:
Physical Education is MORE than running, calisthenics, or sport. It is a total movement experience that focuses on FUN, involvement, character, self-esteem, health and fitness, and total well-being for our students. It is an essential part every day.
We believe that a quality after-school program is equally essential for our youth. As Colin Powell so aptly put it "There is abundant evidence that kids who have caring adults in their lives, safe places to go after school, and constructive activities to absorb their interest and energy, stand a much better chance of avoiding trouble, succeeding in school, and leading happier lives than those who don't."
We believe that children and youth who are involved in Tandalay All-Out-Play in the after-school setting will benefit in a number of ways:
After-School Recreation provides a meaningful movement experience that enriches the lives of youth by providing long-lasting health and fitness skills, encouraging relationships with caring and consistent adults, and by enhancing self respect and respect for other through the Power of Positive Play
Shop n Play was built in conjunction with the PLAY Network and Tandalay Curriculum to provide a place to purchase recreation items that improve Physical Education and lay the ground work for Purposeful Learning for Active Youth of All Ages!
To all of you, from all of us at Shop n Play, the PLAY Network and Tandalay, thank you!
