We need a cot carrier for our cots so that we can store them in a safe and sterile place away from the children while they are not at rest time. We have requested housekeeping items for our homeliving center so that the children can role play and learn to clean and take care of things themselves. This teaches independence and pride in themselves. Children are playful by nature. Their earliest experiences exploring with their senses lead them to play, first by themselves and eventually with others. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has included play as a criterion in its accreditation process for programs for young children. “They call it their work,” says Peter Pizzolongo, associate director for professional development at NAEYC. “When they’re learning and playing with joy, then it’s a positive experience. They develop a positive approach to learning.”
