What a child plays with and how matters during the different stages of his or her development. The right types of play build the conceptual foundations of math, problem-solving, literacy, social skills, art and creativity, science, emotional maturity, critical thinking, leadership, and more.

Play isn't a break from learning; it's the way children learn!

Understanding how children learn and play and incorporating the different types of toys and techniques to engage and facilitate play will transform the lives of your children and open the world of learning and discovery right in your home.

You'll see your child's excitement every time he or she enters the playroom and different learning areas. You'll recognize how your child learns and develops. You'll watch your child grow into a competent, confident, independent, and prepared learner while playing and having fun.

The concepts, materials, and activities in this book have been developed and used by early childhood practitioners and educators for decades, and are implemented and in practice in nationally accredited early learning programs.

From the Inside Flap

A child's brain triples in size during the first three years of life and absorbs more information during that period than any other time, and ninety percent of a child's brain is developed by age five. It is during this time that a child is prepared for all future experiences, interpretations, and critical thinking in their upcoming lives.

This early stage in a child's life establishes the basis for confidence, understanding, and independence, as well as a joy for learning. As parents, we can incorporate this knowledge into our everyday routines, to enhance and fulfill the needs of our developing child(ren), starting at birth. We can set up a learning environment right in our homes, that provides rich discovery and exploration, and lays the necessary foundation of all future learning.

Children learn while they play!

Even children who eventually attend a full-day preschool spend more time at home than anywhere else, and by setting up the right types of play, you too can create your own home of learning!
