Through play, children expand their understanding of themselves and others, their knowledge of the physical world, and their ability to communicate with peers and adults. Rather than needing structured activities, they benefit most from substantial time to explore and play in a variety of ways. Therefore, of the responses provided, a kindergarten teacher can best apply the concept of developmentally appropriate practice by designing a learning environment that supports the essential role of play in students' learning.
