A "U Play Pop-Up" is a mobile play-lab experience that "pops up" around the Ann Arbor area for families with children in early childhood. This play-lab experience aims to foster creativity, imagination, and inquiry for children through happy, healthy, and inspired play. 

Early childhood professionals, from The U School, facilitate the play-lab experience for children and are also be able to articulate for parents and caregivers the developmental importance of play-based learning environments. 

The U Play Pop-Up activities offer a lens into how children play - the thinking behind their play and how to follow their thinking. But for children, the U Play Pop-Up activities are all about having fun!
