Project Sunshine TelePlay is a new program using video technologies to bring play and activities to children.
Children across the United States are experiencing increased anxiety and stress. TelePlay was created to help support children’s strong mental and physical health. TelePlay provides developmentally appropriate and necessary play opportunities to children and their families. TelePlay also helps to increase joy and emotional relief, while decreasing stress and feelings of isolation. TelePlay is free, and open to any child whose parents feel it would be helpful to their children.

What Makes Us Unique
We serve pediatric patients, from newborn to 21 years old, facing all medical challenges - both acute and chronic.
Our programs encourage family members to participate. We know that when a child is sick, the whole family is affected.
We work with patients in a variety of settings, including inpatient, outpatient, long-term care, and residential facilities.
