Free Play Treatment Fidelity Guide
Designed for Early Childhood Educators & Support Staff
Free play is one of the most powerful contexts for social-emotional development, when it is facilitated with purpose. This Treatment Fidelity Guide is designed for early childhood professionals who want to intentionally prioritize social and emotional learning within play, rather than viewing free play as unstructured or passive time.
This 10-page packet provides practical, research-aligned strategies for facilitating play across all developmental levels, helping staff shift from supervision to purposeful engagement. It outlines how to support learners who are just beginning to tolerate shared space as well as those who are ready for cooperative play, group games, and peer interaction.
The guide covers:
Environmental setup and material arrangement to promote engagement
Differentiated instruction strategies for mixed-ability groups
Prompting and fading guidance to support independence
Ongoing progress monitoring and observation tips
Simple, usable data collection tools
Staff self-checks to support reflective practice and consistency
Common pitfalls and how to course-correct in real time
This resource reflects best practices in early childhood education and behavior science by emphasizing intentional environmental design, naturalistic teaching, embedded skill development, and data-informed decisions—all within developmentally appropriate play routines.
For programs using Mission Cognition’s Early Childhood Play-Based Social Learning Program (EC-PBSL), these treatment fidelity guides are embedded within the curriculum. If you are not ready to fully implement EC-PBSL, this Treatment Fidelity Guide offers a practical entry point into high-quality, relationship-based, evidence-informed play facilitation. It supports teams in beginning to apply the same principles, without overhauling their entire program, by bringing consistency, clarity, and intention to daily play routines.
Whether you are refining an existing program or just starting to implement social-emotional learning through play, this guide equips your team with the tools to make free play meaningful, measurable, and impactful.
