Play is Important

Play is Important

Play is an essential part of children’s healthy development, however, children are being given fewer chances to play. In fact, play ‘deprivation’ is increasingly recognised as a serious issue for children and their healthy development.

Research has proven that play is vital for children to learn and grow, both physically and mentally. Play lets them work out their emotions, explore the world around them and discover who they are. OOSH services are central to supporting the child’s right to play. Participants will learn about play types, how educators can help facilitate and maximise play opportunities for children and articulate the value and importance of play during A&R and how to take a play work approach to our work.
