It's a therapeutic approach that uses play as a medium for children to express their emotions and process their experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

CHALLENGES AND CONSIDERATIONS

Childcare presents numerous challenges and considerations for providers, parents, and the children themselves. Challenges include managing diverse child needs, balancing individual and group needs, handling challenging behaviors, maintaining a safe and healthy environment, and dealing with high operating costs. Parents face challenges such as finding affordable and accessible care, balancing work and family life, and navigating communication with childcare providers. Children may experience challenges related to adjusting to the environment, developing social-emotional skills, and potentially facing adverse effects due to individual vulnerabilities.
