After months of advocacy from the parent-led "K Needs Play" campaign, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is launching a "K-Play" pilot program across seven local elementary schools for the 2026-27 school year. The initiative aims to reintegrate structured, play-based learning centers—which the district stopped resourcing around 2010—while keeping lessons fully aligned with state academic standards.

Summer schedules are always changing- and that means a few spots may pop open in our Inclusive Play Program!
While some of our friends are off making vacation memories, we may have limited availability on select weeks for new children to join the fun!
From sensory play and hands-on learning to music, movement, and friendships, there’s always something exciting happening in our classroom! Reach out to learn about current openings and weekly availability.
We’d love to play, learn, and grow with your little one!

FIFA World Cup is taking a major step toward accessibility by providing sign language interpretation for every match, including American Sign Language (ASL) and Mexican Sign Language (Lengua de Señas Mexicana, or LSM).
Beyond sign language access, fans will also benefit from audio-descriptive commentary for blind and low-vision spectators, sensory rooms and sensory bags, haptic devices that translate match action into tactile feedback, mobility assistance services, accessible seating, captioning, and enhanced accessibility features within the tournament app. Accessibility helps ensure more fans can experience the excitement of the world's biggest sporting event.
