Gift of Play SWFL is an early learning enrichment space opening in Cape Coral, created by a local mom of three and early childhood educator.

For years, I’ve dreamed of creating a space where children can learn through intentional play without chaos or overstimulation, but a calm, purposeful environment built on what truly works in the classroom.

As a mom of three boys and an early childhood educator, this vision has been on my heart for a long time.

We have officially secured our location for Gift of Play.

Now we are inviting our community to help bring it to life.

Our Goal

We are launching our “Planting Seeds for Play” campaign with a goal of raising $35,000 to help complete final buildout and prepare our space for opening.

This space is being built on faith, family, and the belief in childhood play. 

Your Support Funds

• Safety flooring installation

• Commercial water heater

• Plumbing 

• Sensory and enrichment materials

• Playhouse installation

• Gross Motor furnishings

Every dollar raised goes directly toward preparing a safe, intentional environment for children and families.

Why?

Childhood is short. The early years shape confidence, curiosity, and connection.

Gift of Play is being built as a welcoming space where children are encouraged to explore, families feel supported, and community grows stronger.

We believe strong families build strong communities.
