If animals play, this is because play is useful in the struggle for survival; because play practices and so perfects the skills needed in adult life.
-Susanna Miller
Thirty years ago when we launched
Exchange magazine, we produced a flyer with the headline "What has 14 hands?" And, the answer, of course, was: a child care director. Indeed, the director does need all the hands she can get to take good care of staff supervision, customer service, curriculum planning, financial management, building maintenance, health and safety control, environmental design, and on and on.
What we want to know is what are center directors' most urgent training needs? Which of the multitudinous tasks do they need the most support for? So share your views on directors' training needs by voting in today's
Exchange Insta Poll.
We have bundled together a variety of practical resources on play and are selling them at a discounted package price. Our
Play Tool Kit contains the following items:
- Play: A Beginnings Workshop Book
- The Power of Play: How spontaneous, imaginative activities lead to happier, healthier children by David Elkind
- Exchange Article Collection #8 �" Play CD
- Plus three Out of the Box Training Kits…

- "But They're Only Playing"
