Why is preschool and kids playing and interacting with each other so important?

- Social skills – Children learn how to work together, compromise, and resolve conflicts. They also learn to recognize and respond to others’ feelings, share, and show affection.
- Creativity – Children can use their imagination and creativity by playing make-believe games and acting out different solutions. They also learn to come up with their own ideas and solutions to problems.
- Language skills – Playing with others gives children opportunities to improve their language skills, which can boost their self-esteem.
- Literacy – Playtime can help children learn through fun activities and build a foundation for literacy.
- Brain development – Physical play has been shown to have a positive connection with brain development.
