Description

Experts agree that play is essential for the healthy development of young children. Play is also recognized as the best way for children to learn and quality play experiences contribute to brain development in young children.

Researchers, however, are dismayed to find that play is diminishing in the lives our young children in today's busy, high-tech world. Teachers of young children can ensure high quality play experiences for children in their care. Best of all, you are able to provide this important element at a critical time in a child's life of learning!

Not all courses are approved for early care and education in every state. Please check State and CEU Approvals page for details.
