The Importance of Play – Teacher Solutions Resource app for iPhone and iPad

The ‘Importance of Play’ app supports early childhood educators and parents to understand why play is critical to all children’s development.

In a political climate where academic instruction is being pushed into early childhood education and where ‘drill and skill’ approaches are hot topics, it is critical that early years practitioners have tools and resources to promote play-based education.

This app includes presentations, a movie, presenter notes for workshop facilitation, a podcast, research links and articles, and various materials to support promotion of the importance of play.
