The Serious Need for Play

We are sending out this link to a very pertinent article regarding play and it’s benefits to young children. The article, The Serious Need for Play, was featured in the January ‘09 issue of Scientific American, and discusses how free play is a significant factor in the healthy development of children.  We thought this article would be of interest to the families here at our school, because “free play” is  an integral part of the daily curriculum at Children’s Village Preschool. We hope you enjoy reading this very insightful and informative article. Need for Play Article
