TSC hosts gatherings throughout the year, like Open Play Days, family visits, court-ordered visits, and adoption celebrations, that create space for foster families to slow down, connect, and breathe. And when appropriate, others are invited to join in, celebrating milestones, memories, and everyday moments outdoors.
Create safe, predictable outdoor spaces where kids can relax, play, and simply be kids
Offer natural opportunities to reconnect with family of origin (siblings, parents) in a calm, outdoor setting
Build trust and connection through shared experiences that feel natural and low-pressure
Replace difficult memories with positive ones rooted in fun, safety, and belonging
Encourage emotional healing through unstructured play and time in nature
Remind every child that they are seen, valued, and surrounded by people who care
Provide consistent opportunities to breathe, connect, and recharge together as a family
Support both bio children and children in care through shared outdoor experiences that build unity and understanding
Ease isolation by connecting caregivers with others who understand the realities of foster parenting
Strengthen family rhythms and relationships through predictable, trauma-informed gatherings
Offer practical, accessible ideas for supporting children with different backgrounds and needs
Help caregivers feel part of a stable, caring network that stands beside them

July’s Open Play Day in the books! #fostercare #natureheals #fostercarecommunity #tireswingcollective #getoutside

June’s Open Play Day was filled with the usual fun but also included a lot of extra digging in the dirt thanks to @littlesproutsco_gardens. It was such a treat having Kara with us to help our young friends learn about gardening, do some planting in our garden and take some starter plantings home with them too. So thankful for this time to get outdoors and build community with these precious foster families. #fostercarecommunity #getoutside #natureheals #fostercare

Throwback to our March Backyard Makeover!!!! In the midst of a very busy spring, this was a highlight for sure! Coming alongside the Mayfield Family to transform their outdoor space was truly a joy for us and all those who came together to help. A true picture of community! Can’t wait to see how this space is used in the months ahead to support and encourage other foster families in the Cumming, GA area! A BIG thanks to our sponsors: - Monrovia Plants @monroviaplants - Mountain High Landscape Supply @mountainhighlandscapesupply - Randall Brothers @randallbrothersllc - SS Firepits @ssfirepits - Atlanta Professional Landscaping - Restoration Tree Care #fostercarecommunity #natureheals #creatingspaceforfostercare #fostercare

Our first Open Play Day at our newest TSC mini site was a great kick off to summer!!!! Thank you Davenport Family for sharing your backyard with us and being an example of what it looks like to create intentional space for the foster care community. #TireSwingCollective #FosterCare #NatureHeals #FosterCareCommunity #creatingspaceforfostercare

It was a TSC Saturday to remember….full of connecting, playing, creating, gathering, exploring and celebrating!!!! Lots of fun and community building happened at our monthly Open Play Day. And then that evening we had the joy of hosting and celebrating a special set of sister’s 18th Birthday @atlanta_angels ! It’s a blessing to be able to share our outdoor space with these precious young people and those investing in them! #tireswingcollective #fostercarecommunity #natureheals #foster care
