The purpose of this study is to investigate which perceptions pedagogues have about the importance of play in children´s development and how they work in kindergartens to stimulate the children to play more. The essay for this study is based on preschool´s curriculum and preschool activities. Preschool´s curriculum has placed great importance on children´s lifelong learning and therefore it is important that activities in preschool must be fun, safe and instructive. Therefore, I have chosen to do a qualitative study which is a based on a phenomenology hermeneutics method. I will collect my empirical material by interviewing six educators in five preschools which is located in three different municipalities. My purpose of this choice was to interview six educators who work in different environments. At the end of my study I will describe what answers I received on my purpose and what perceptions do the pedagogues have about the significance of the play.
