The Swedish Play Policy

The Swedish Play Policy emphasizes that play is a fundamental part of children's development, supporting their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. It advocates for children to have ample opportunities for free, spontaneous play in safe environments, both indoors and outdoors. The policy encourages collaboration among educators, parents, and communities to create stimulating, inclusive settings that nurture creativity, independence, and well-being. Recognizing play as a child's right, it aims to foster a balanced approach to learning where play is valued equally alongside formal education, ensuring children enjoy a joyful, healthy childhood.
