Within the playroom, children are given the freedom to imagine, create, explore, and play at their own pace while receiving gentle, supportive guidance. Through play, children can experiment with new ideas, test limits, work through challenges, build confidence, and develop problem-solving and emotional regulation skills. As they “play out” their worries and experiences, they can begin to make sense of what they have been through, gain a greater understanding of their emotions, and discover their own voice in a way that feels safe and developmentally appropriate.
