Why Play Matters

What is "Constructive Play"?

For many years, early childhood researchers have studied the role of play in the growth and development of children. They have found that "constructive play," like food, love, care and hope, is an essential building block for children - a critical part of the foundation children need to lead healthy, happy and productive lives.

Experts agree that "constructive play":
– Is safe, wholesome and non-violent.
– Stimulates children to develop skills and positive relationships.
– Inspires children to learn more about themselves and the world around them.
– Enables children to fully realize their potential.
– Encourages creativity and helps develop a child's personality.
– Makes learning fun.
