1-2-3 Play with Me! Recognizing and Valuing the Power of Play

About This Webinar

Across the lifespan, play serves a pivotal role in our development and learning. And while for the most part development unfolds in a predictable and logical set of stages and sequences, there is much we can do through play to ensure happier and healthier children. This webinar provides a context for seeing the power of play and how it is necessary for success in school and in life. Recommended practices and research on how to support children’s play are provided.
