More than just a chance to have fun, play is serious business when it comes to a child's health and development. From peek-a-boo to pat-a-cake and hide-and-seek to hopscotch, the many forms of play enrich a child's brain, body and life in important ways. #KidsFirst #InvestInKids

When #parents & #children #play together, their bond is strengthened. When parents get down on the child's level & play with them, it creates a sense of security and trust. It shows the child that their parents are interested in their world and want to share their joy. #KidsFirst

Guided play differs from free play in being initiated by the adult while letting the child drive her learning towards a specific goal. But children themselves drive the exploration within such guided learning environments—giving them choice and voice. #InvestInKids #KidsFirst

#Play is important for children's development & learning, helping them improve their cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being. Play helps children learn about the world & themselves, & develop skills they need for relationships, work & study. #InvestInKids #KidsFirst

Why is our #childcare system so broken? The biggest reason is that care is too expensive for families, and public funding is inadequate. “It’s only a matter of time until the system implodes.” #SolveChildcare
