The Power of Play
Play = Learning!
When you hear the word PLAY, you probably think of fun, amusement, and recreation. But despite the word’s long-held connotation, decades of research have proven that children’s free play has a powerful influence on their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development.
That’s right, when children pretend, build, climb, and explore, they’re not only having fun….
That’s where the Children’s Museum of Richmond comes in! We give all of our community’s children an environment where they can get back to the basics of play and simply be kids. By motivating this behavior, we are setting children on the path to a stronger future!
