It’s OK to Play All Day

Play is like love – everyone knows what it is but it is difficult to define. This conference call will begin with an examination of what play is and what play is not. We will consider the ways in which play influences all areas of development. Participants will learn how to look at their play spaces and play materials with a fresh eye in order to be able to include all children no matter their challenges. Daily routines will be considered as opportunities for play. And, we will examine some of the research on the benefits of play so as to build a solid foundation for making the case that It’s OK to Play All Day.
