Playtime!

The Importance of Play...



Playtime is an integral part of our Begindergarten schedule each day. It is always my hope to have both a morning and afternoon playtime. Here are just a few of my favorite quotes about the importance of "play":
“Play is the work of the child.” – Maria Montessori
“Play is the highest form of research.” – Albert Einstein
"We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing.” -Charles Schaefer
“Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning.” -Diane Ackerman
“Whoever wants to understand much must play much.”       Gottfried Benn
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” -George Bernard Shaw ;)
