Outside the Lines: Creative Play

In a world that often expects children to put aside “childish ways” in favor of “preparing” for the future, Patagonia stands for the right of children to play, because we know that play is how children prepare for the future. Since 1983, Patagonia’s on-site child care center has married the company’s values and history with an understanding of child development to create a set of principles to guides its practices. At the heart of the child care program is unstructured play, where children get messy and wild, where the unpredictability of nature is available to surprise and delight. This is the pinnacle of play, and it develops creativity, inventiveness, and community. At our child care center, we combine the raw materials of playtime with natural landscapes and a respect for kids’ independence to create a place where children can go truly wild.
