Free play is the most important activity of childhood, the child’s true work and a time when every child deserves complete freedom. It is the finest preparation for life. There are no preset goals and no rules except those the child chooses. It nurtures creativity and lays the ground for later intellectual growth. Through play, children express their own experiences and feelings. Play connects the child with the world and opens the door to new insights. For a child, play matters as much as work does for adults. It leads toward socialization, imagination, initiative and the courage to create freely. It strengthens group dynamics and allows the child to become independent and self assured while developing a free will.
