Play Is Brain Fuel! The Science of Play & Academic Success in the Preschool Classroom
In this episode of Elevating Early Childhood, Vanessa Levin speaks with Amanda Morgan, author of 'How Powerful Play Drives Development in Early Childhood,' about the evolving challenges of early childhood education. They discuss the crucial role of play in child development, the diminishing impact of preschool programs since 2000, and the importance of self-efficacy and agency in young learners. Amanda emphasizes the need for understanding and communication among teachers, parents, and administrators to foster a supportive learning environment centered on developmentally appropriate practices. The episode also explores how play-based learning supports mental health, social skills, and overall holistic development.
