Description
(April 2021) Come Play with Me!
Children need to play. More importantly, children need to play with their parent or caregiver. Play builds attachment, develops trust, and builds self-esteem. Children’s developmental, emotional, social, cognitive, and moral needs can be met through play. Shared joy creates the legends of a happy childhood. Come Play with Me for a bit and give yourself permission to play more and work less!
