Summer of Play Series (Part 1): Child’s Play 101 – How Play Builds the Brain

Summer of Play Series (Part 1): Child’s Play 101 – How Play Builds the Brain
 
This first webinar in the Summer of Play series explores how play serves as the brain’s most natural and effective learning system. Grounded in child development and neuroscience, the session breaks down what play really is, why it matters, and how adults can protect it in a world that often undervalues it.
 
You’ll explore:
What defines true play, and why it’s far more than just entertainment or free time
How learning unfolds through play, with clear examples across cognitive, social-emotional, and physical domains
Ways adults can support and advocate for play-based learning at home and in the classroom
 
Perfect for educators, parents, and caregivers ready to reconnect with the core of early childhood development.
