The Importance of Play

Play helps children to develop their inner resources, building resilience to better face challenges and uncertainties.

Play is a natural, active and often unplanned process in which thinking, feeling and doing can help children flourish.

When children are playing, they are able to be inventive, creative, and learn to self-regulate.
