"Risky play builds confidence and a sense of self-belief in their own decision making. It is our duty as early years providers to ensure that the risks we expose children to are as safe as they possibly can be so children can take calculated risks." Sue Robb

Is there a reason our children insist on walking on the very edge of a footpath, instead of the middle? Or can’t resist climbing a wall or a tall tree

"Children have opportunities to learn empathy from their parents, but also from their teachers and peers. Reading good literature can be a powerful way to develop empathy, as is studying history or being present with a friend on the playground who is having a hard time. Empathy is not found in many official school standards, but it could be one of the most important qualities to develop in young citizens who will go on to be successful actors in a complicated world."

Every person in a child's life can help him or her develop empathy, an important quality for personal and professional success.

“Educators will tell you that a classroom full of empathetic kids simply runs more smoothly than one filled with even the happiest group of self-serving children. Similarly, family life is more harmonious when siblings are able feel for each other and put the needs of others ahead of individual happiness. If a classroom or a family full of caring children makes for a more peaceful and cooperative learning environment, just imagine what we could accomplish in a world populated by such children.” – Jessica Lahey

"Basically, it is the biological design in the genes for staying “young” despite still getting old. And one of the hallmarks of this immaturity being retained despite becoming old, is our design for lifelong PLAY."

PlayCore is right on with “design thinking,” and are leading-edge through product innovation and program curriculum formulations that clearly foster improved health and more balanced living. They do so by recognizing the human capacity for and need to play throughout our lifetimes.
