Episode notes
The Peaceful Playgrounds Program goes beyond painted games to address the root causes of playground conflict. By combining equipment, staff training, clear expectations, and conflict resolution skills, it creates a structured, inclusive environment. This comprehensive approach fosters cooperation, reduces disputes, and transforms recess into a positive, student-driven experience.
