The Practice of Play

Welcome to a three-part series for early childhood program leaders from Head Start, private child care, and public preschool exploring high-quality play-based learning and how it drives meaningful, measurable positive outcomes for children, families, and educators. Over the course of this series, we’ll examine the foundations of play-based learning, supportive leadership practices, and real-world examples of the practice at work.

Whether you’re new to early childhood education or deeply experienced, this series will help you observe intentional play with confidence, create the conditions for play to thrive, and see how high-quality play-based learning improves engagement at all levels, attendance, and kindergarten readiness.
