Play-centered support for children and families

Juga-la! is a nonprofit association focused on caring for and respectfully supporting children, with play at the center of its work. Its approach has two main parts: play spaces and therapeutic support for children, teens, and families, drawing on psychomotor practice, Gestalt therapy, and systemic pedagogy for both preventive and therapeutic work.

• Psychomotor play spaces for children ages 3 to 7, for preventive and therapeutic purposes.
• Outdoor play activities in parks, plazas, fairs, and other events.
• Espai Nadó and family play spaces.
• Child psychomotor activities and therapeutic psychomotor support.
