Play... the heart of development Learning Objectives Participants will be able to: 1. State how play supports each developmental domain. 2. Describe how play builds relationships. 3. Note the ways in which play enhances the learning of young children who are culturally, linguistically, and ability diverse. 4. Share evidence for how play can be used to support young children in processing difficult concepts and situations.
