Childsplay is grateful to our educator advocates across the state for working hard to bring Childsplay to the students of Arizona for the past 39 years.
The 2016-2017 Childsplay Advisory Panel consists of some of our most dedicated educator advocates, and includes PreK-12th grade educators, administrators, and librarians from across the state. The Panel meets three times a year to provide Childsplay with sage advice about how to provide educators an exemplary experience.
