Early Childhood Education

There is so much information about play and sometimes it is hard to understand what play really means in the lives of children. What I have learned is that the more you talk with parents and educators the more you begin to understand the benefits of play. I have also learned that researching, workshops and podcasts can be beneficial in understanding different ideas and theories of play. I learned that what I thought and believed  has an important value to my program and what I would want for my children (or in this case my grandchildren). Weaving all the information and ideas that I learned from others and through education brought me on a journey to where I grew more passionate about what play really means for children. Watching children play is probably the best teacher regarding play, especially once I understood the different concepts of play. Watching children gather, collect, transfer, transport, trajectory of objects all began to make sense. They were not making a mess they were playing! This was just one concept that fascinated me so I began to observe, reflect and discover more.
