 The Importance of Play

When children play, they develop their knowledge of themselves and others, they make sense of the world around them, and they learn to communicate with peers and adults.  As children grow and develop, play changes, but the importance of it remains.  There are a number of ways that parents and other adults can support play for various ages of young learners. But first, they must understand how it evolves.

Older Preschoolers:

By the time children are ages four or five, their ideas about the social world initiate most pretend pay.  At this age, play among peers becomes more important!  While some play is solitary or shared with an adult, pretend play is usually shared at school or neighborhood.
