awareness of the need for and importance of play
learning experience for preschool children to its
crucial role and contributions to various aspects of

definition, roles and values of play in relation to
children’s learning. Two methods of data collection
were deployed. First, semi-structured in depth face
to face interviews were carried out on 20 preschool
teachers, 2 administrators and 2 policy makers.
