Portfolio: Childhood Development through Play

One major theme I’ve learned from my previous studies in Childhood Education is that play is a critical factor in a child’s learning and development. Creating art and engaging in physical activities both have the potential to create instances for children to be able to learn through play. My Individualized Studies Major has focused on courses in Childhood Education, Fine Arts, Human Development, and Psychology and they all are tied together as they all involve the interrelated concepts mentioned above and they all can be incorporated in the positive development of infants, toddlers, and young children.
