Young children learn through play. All early childhood professionals know this. But today there is great pressure to push academic instruction down to the preschool years, thus diminishing children's time for play. This CD incorporates articles from Exchange and the HighScope Educational Research Foundation on understanding and advocating the value of play and on making play happen in early childhood programs.
