Children are born learners, therefore, for them to learn and develop requires us to give them a high quality education. It’s imperative that teachers use developmentally appropriate practices with the whole child in mind which will help scaffold young children’s learning. This must be done by providing play, and hands on learning experiences while following early childhood standards. Children are our future, consequently; we must invest in them. An expert in the early childhood field and of whom I look up to, Mr. Fred Rogers sums up the value of play, “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood” Fred
