Play is so much more than just a stress break! Play is the basis for development and growth: emotional, social, cognitive, physical and language, especially in the earlier years. But play benefits kids learning and development way later than we might think. Learn about the benefits of play and how to create an environment at home and school that gives your children, of any age, the benefits of growing through play!
