Play is one of the most important ways that young children learn. This webinar, hosted by Early Learning Investigations, will explore why play is essential for all children. 

Information in this free, online event will be presented by Amanda Morgan, author of Not Just Cute: How Powerful Play Drives Development in Early Childhood, who will blend research and real-world examples to help participants learn how to make play purposeful in early childhood settings. 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to… 

  • Identify common misconceptions about play and learn how to reframe them to more effectively address challenges.
  • Confidently explain why play is critical to whole-child development.
  • Advocate for play in ways that reflect current research and resonate with colleagues and families.
  • Maximize the impact of play by designing experiences and environments that support agency, joy, and deep learning.
