Why Play?

Why do we humans play? From our earliest moments, we long to play. The appeal of play is the joy that it brings us. The sheer delight of it! However, joy is not the only reward of play. Through play we develop the cognitive, social, physical, and emotional skills we will need to thrive. Nature has provided us with play as a way to explore and make sense of our world. Play is our teacher.

A Center for Creative Play® Environment™ is carefully designed to support all different types of play for all different types of people.

Play is the business of childhood and it would be fair to say that most children love their job (Sigafoos, 1999).
