Let your children play!

​Playing with your child now will help him to be ready to play and learn with others in school and in life!

Play is a child's work and they learn best through play . Through play children develop: 

• cognitive skills  and problem solving
• physical abilities – running, jumping, bouncing balls

Play is a great outlet for stress and anxiety and one of the most important ways children 
Provide opportunities for your children to play both inside and outside in safe settings. 

And don't forget to take time to play too.  While playing with your child, you can ask questions, encourage vocabulary and guide children in using toys productively , 

You are your  child's first teacher.  By supporting and providing opportunities for play, you  will help your child learn and develop in a way that is most natural .  Give your children time for play and see all that they are capable of when given the opportunity.
