Our Background
Playocracy is grounded in the understanding that play is a fundamental human behavior, embedded in our biology and essential to development. Concurrently, democratic societies rely on principles such as inclusion, agency, and social responsibility—capacities that are first cultivated through play. By integrating these concepts, Playocracy recognizes play as a primary context in which children develop the skills needed to engage, collaborate, and participate meaningfully in society.
​
Our Founder, Lynn Campanella, brings over 30 years experience and expertise through the work of Playocracy, including workshops, products and resources to support the importance of quality play within school communities.
Our Vision
We envision a world where play is recognized as a vital component in child development and community building.
Our Mission
Playocracy Inc. empowers communities to unlock the full developmental power of play by cultivating environments where every child thrives. Through inclusive collaboration and deep expertise in child development, we partner with organizations at every level to elevate play and recess as essential drivers of learning, well-being, and connection—proving that what happens on the playground shapes far more than the game or activity.
