From our perspective, both free and purposeful plays are important tools for learning. Learning through play helps formulate healthy experiences for children. By the aid of purposeful play, children will discover rules of sharing, getting along with others, resolving conflicts, recognizing emotions and empathy, handling emotions, helping others, and interacting appropriately with others. They also learn to foster imagination and creativity through play. In Honey Bunny, a large portion of the day is spent on playing. It may consist of amusing and imaginary plays, play with others, play alone, and teacher’s guided play.
