What is an e-Playmate? How do I become one?

e-PlayMates is our Safe, FUN & Educational Virtual Community on the Internet to participate in the Rocking Horse Community where we extend the accessibility and benefits of the activities, education and services that we offer from our retail store in the Natchitoches, LA community to the entire world of children and parents who have Internet access. This vibrant virtual community participates in our physical store events (live via webcasts) and on-demand via recorded podcasts (available from our Education Resources e-Library) for things such as:

StoryTime (someone reading a story to a group children)
PlayDates (creative play workshops for kids/parents)
EduShops (educational workshops for kids/parents

We also sponsor e-Contests which are creative and fun ways of promoting play with new products offering prizes to contest winners and promotional discounts to participants.
