Play isn’t a break from learning—it’s how young children learn best.
Not Just Cute: How Powerful Play Drives Development in Early Childhood offers a compelling, research-backed case for why guided play is essential in high-quality early education—and how to implement it with intention.
Deeply rooted in research, but presented with a conversational tone, Amanda Morgan, MS, makes complex developmental theory easy to understand and apply. This book gives you the “why” behind play, and pairs it with real-world strategies to bring that understanding to life.
From the foreword by Dale C. Farran, PhD:
"Amanda Morgan’s excellent book on the power of play provides parents and teachers alike with a short, highly informative primer on understanding the role play has in the brain development of young children and the critical importance of reversing the current trend toward viewing play as nonessential...
With evidence of both fadeout and negative effects, now is a good time to pause, take stock, and ask: are we doing this right? Amanda’s book provides important guidance for a much-needed change in direction...
It is time for developmental science to be taken seriously; the costs for children of not making these changes will be great and long-lasting."
Ideal for:
-
Early childhood educators building intentional classroom practices
-
Program directors aligning their teams around developmentally appropriate goals
-
Parents and caregivers seeking deeper understanding of their child’s learning
-
Professors and students in early childhood education programs
This book is easy to read and discuss with your learning community, so that you can all get on the same page when it comes to how young children learn best.
If you’re ready to replace confusion and overwhelm with clarity and confidence, Not Just Cute is your guide to building developmentally rich, joyful learning experiences through play.
