playwork practitioners

Playwork practitioners are professionals who support and facilitate children’s play, recognizing it as essential for their development. They create safe and stimulating environments where children can explore, experiment, and engage in imaginative play. Playworkers observe and understand children’s play needs, intervening when necessary to promote positive experiences while respecting their autonomy. By fostering creativity, social skills, and problem-solving abilities, playwork practitioners play a crucial role in the holistic development of children, empowering them to learn through play and build confidence in their skills and abilities.
