Abstract
This study examined preservice early childhood education (ECE) students’ perceptions of play as part of the classroom experience. An analysis of 67 preservice students’ answers to three open-ended questions designed to elicit their perception of play, revealed respondents overall were “encouraged” by the use of play as a teaching tool. In addition, they held a favorable view of incorporating play into the classroom experience. This study showed that educational experiences had a significant impact on encouraging preservice early education teachers to incorporate play into the curriculum.
