PLLAN is committed to fostering the creation of playful learning infrastructure and activities in the everyday spaces where children and families gather. By infusing our cities with playful learning opportunities, we can enhance children’s cognitive and social development, better preparing them for success in the 21st-century.

I-LABS is an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to discovering fundamental principles of human learning, with an emphasis on helping all children achieve their full potential. We conduct innovative research on children’s cognitive, linguistic, social-emotional, and brain development. The Outreach and Education team at I-LABS creates new and effective ways to bridge the gap between the science and the practice of learning. Our team shares the latest scientific discoveries in relevant and actionable ways with professionals, parents, and policymakers. Partners use trailblazing research to create new, evidence-based policies, practices, and programs that grow the next generation of lifelong learners.
