This paper discusses teacher's support on children directed play and the benefits of play in children's development. Children's directed play is the context of play engaged by children's initiation. Children's holistic development can be stimulated through children's directed play. The importance of children's directed play is often ignored by adults. Play is a primary approach of learning in Indonesia kindergartens as stated in Indonesia's early childhood education curriculum, 2013. Given the importance of play for children's holistic development, this paper will explore and analyse teacher's support of children's directed play and its contribution to children's development. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
