Years of extensive research affirm that providing time, space, and appropriate adult support for children’s play leads to optimal learning and development. Yet, over the past decades, children’s play has been under threat as the focus on adult-directed activities has increased, time in nature has decreased, and educators feel increasing pressure to decrease play.  “Play is the primary way children were designed to learn.” – Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Roberta Golinkoff      Register Here
