dc.description.abstractThis qualitative study was conducted to deepen the understanding of the Early Care Professional's perspective while implementing sociodramatic play. Data was gathered and categorized from two interviews of each of the five Early Care Professionals, field notes and observations. Four themes emerged: ECPs Chose Props and Themes, ECPs Use Reflective Practice, Stepping into Sociodramatic Play, and ECPs Inform Parents. Recommendations for further study are as follows: how the impact of props affect the child's choice of play themes, a need for peer idea sharing or mentoring, a need to raise the awareness of the importance of rough and tumble play for young children, and a need to create a classroom community which includes, respects and understands the needs of the child's family.--Abstract.
