Are you looking to enrich your child's development through the power of play? Fred Rogers once said, “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood”. In an age where screen use dominates, daily schedules are hectic, and families are overwhelmed, play might be getting lost. In this class, we’ll explore strategies for prioritizing play in families. Research shows that children who have dedicated time for unstructured, child-directed play experience positive social and academic outcomes. Join us and take the first step towards making play a central part of your child's learning journey. Children will experience the benefits of play in our early childhood classroom.
