Bancroft Elementary School and the PlayStart Organizing Committee welcome all the parents, relatives and friends of young children in Mount Pleasant to come help build our school-community playground. The PlayStart playground will be separated from the elementary school playground by a chain link fence. It will be open to the community during and after school, holidays and weekends. The HeadStart and pre-K classes will use the playground primarily between 11 A.M. and 12:30 P.M. weekdays.

Bancroft's Current HeadStart Playground

This fall, Bancroft HeadStart received a small climb-and-slide. PlayStart funding will make it possible to buy more equipment, add benches and landscape the play area.


The Proposed Site

We hope you will join us to help plan, publicize, design, choose and build equipment, and raise money. If you would like more information on PlayStart, please contact us at info@playstart.org
