Lekotek of Georgia:
The word "Lekotek" comes
from the Swedish work "lek," meaning play, and the Greek suffix "tek"
meaning library. Loosely translated, Lekotek means play library, but to
the hundreds of families we help, it is much more. Using adapted toys and
computer equipment, Lekotek provides opportunities for children to have
fun and learn along the way. It is a safe haven from medical appointments
and therapies. It is a place where there are no expectations to perform,
a place where parents find resources and support.
