It’s okay if you see a child playing by themselves at daycare.

There are different types of play, and all of them are important for learning and growing. For example, solo play helps kids use their imagination and learn to entertain themselves. Parallel play is when kids play next to each other but not together, and it helps them get used to being around others. Both are normal and healthy.

Kids don’t always need to play in groups to learn and have fun.
