When You ’ re Little , Play is a Big Deal !
Play Milestones
We design play systems and activities to support developmental milestones in a child ’ s life , such as :
6 months children are ready to explore their surroundings
9 months a child can distinguish between different textures and tactile experiences
Play is essential to healthy childhood development . It enhances balance and coordination , spatial awareness , cognitive development , and fine and gross motor skills . Play also contributes to creative thinking , decision-making , inclusion , and social equity .
