Play Partners and Wonder Funders

The Tri County Play Collaborative is a collaboration among a dozen South Carolina organizations, each focused in whole or in part on the healthy learning and development of all young children in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties. Having organizations that support our objective is something gratifying because it allows us to have better results achieving, educating, cheering and entertaining many families in the different centers and attractions prepared for them.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LINK TO TRI COUNTY PLAY COLLABORATIVE Founded in 2021 by a group of organizations with a dedication to early childhood education and a passion for enabling equal access for all children to opportunities to learn through play in cultural institutions, historic sites, and natural habitats, The Tri County Play Collaborative is today an association of 12 Play Partners in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
