Access to play has been recognized as a universal right of children (UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 31) and promoted by international and national organizations with a focus on children's well-being, such as Childhood Education International, the International Play Association, the US Play Coalition, and the Alliance for Childhood. However, local community groups are often the entities that can be most helpful in organizing and sustaining accessibility to children's play experience. It takes a village that values play to raise children through playful experiences. This article summarizes a "Pop-up Play" community experience created by early childhood professional university graduate students, with the support and collaboration of two different community groups that are creating playful experiences for children and families in Omaha, Nebraska. The Pop-Up Play Center project reflects the community engagement principles of the International Code of Ethics for Educators, which recognize that educators must build effective and collaborative relationships with families and communities in order to respond to community needs, enhance children's learning opportunities, and protect children's human rights. The project not only resulted in a powerful play experience for children and families, but also helped connect educators with community partners, building connections that sustain the needs of the organizations that promote and provide play for children.
