Play has enormous benefits for children. Play provides the foundation of learning. Though play children prepares to learn. These include concepts, such as letters, and numbers. As children play, they become involved in open-ended exploration, make discoveries, work on problems, make choices, and discover what interest them. We hope to see you again!
