Project Summary: This unit’s readings will focus on play and cover why it is important for all children. Play is fun, but it is also a way that children develop and learn. The readings will provide information that will help you create your Unit 6 Assignment and understand why play is an integral part of early childhood settings. Bongiorno, L.
