The Importance Of Play In A Child’s Development
It has been said that a “child’s job – is to play”.

Play is essential to development because it contributes to the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children and youth.

Why is Original Play Important?

Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn. Play is the optimum learning relationship for a child.  The best learners at whatever age or stage of development are those that are best prepared to handle change. As they explore their world, children’s play presents them with the fundamental relationships with which they acquire the basic feelings, ideas and capacities to effectively absorb from and adapt to the ever-changing world around them for the rest of their lives.

SO…..Let’s PLAY!
