Play is more than fun—it’s how young children learn!

When children build with blocks, pretend with friends, create art, explore materials, and play games, they are developing skills they will use every day.

Through play, children are learning to:
☎Communicate
👍Solve problems
🧸Take turns
❤️Manage emotions
🎨Use creativity
🔨Build confidence

The next time you see a child deeply engaged in play, remember: there is a lot of learning happening!

If your child is preschool age, we can help you learn more about eligibility and available programs in your community.
