• Participants will review basic ages and stages of child development and how it relates to stages of play development.
•  Participants will come to see play and play observations as a tool to identify possible “red flags” in a child’s development.
  
•  Participants will get information to share with parents about how they can engage in meaningful play experiences with their children at home.
