"Young children work hard at play,".... even especially in kindergarten!

“The power of
play as the engine of learning in early childhood and as a vital force for
young children’s physical, social, and emotional development is beyond
question. Children in play-based kindergartens have a double advantage over
those who are denied play: they end up equally good or better at reading and
other intellectual skills, and they are more likely to become well-adjusted
healthy people.”
