Friendships and relationships grow through playing and communicating with others. The children at HO4K are so lucky to be able to have so much fun playing each day. Play helps younger children develop social skills, problem solving skills and also interpersonal skills.
Children are born with the innate talent and urge to learn new things through exploration and discovery.

There are several different form of play. They are described as follows:
- Practical Play-exploring in sand or water, pounding on drums, etc.
- Constructive Play- building or constructing something using objects.
- Dramatic Play- Pretending to be someone, acting, creating a scenario, etc.
- Games with Rules- games with established rules, board games, competitive games, etc.
Some believe that children play too much and that an increase in organized academic learning is necessary. However, play is a learning time and in fact is detrimental to healthy child development. The children at HO4K get their healthy dose of play every day!
