Play as a foundation for learning

Lisa Murphy’s revised guide makes the case for play as part of children’s development and school readiness. It considers play in relation to social, physical, cognitive, and spiritual growth, and organizes practical discussion around seven meaningful experiences the book says children should have each day. Research and stories provide the stated basis for this exploration. The focus is on how everyday play connects with multiple areas of development, giving the book a broad view of learning in early childhood.
