Value of Play for Preschoolers - December 2024

VALUE OF PLAY FOR PRESCHOOLERS

Play is one of the primary approaches to learning available to children in early childhood. The children use play itself to express their ideas, feelings, and creativity. Through play, they try on every role and situation they've encountered in life. They explore the world around them and make it their own. This training will discuss what play is, how play supports children’s learning and development and how teachers can support play within the classroom. In addition, we will create strategies to use play to enhance the developmental domains of the children in the program.
