The main purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of Taiwanese parents' perceptions of child's play. Data were collected via parent questionnaires. To ensure greater variability in parents' backgrounds, kindergartens with families from different social backgrounds were recruited. A total sample of 142 parents with kindergarteners aged 4-7 years participated in this study. Findings revealed that Taiwanese parents in general valued play's effect on children's development and supported play for their children. Parents' perceptions of child's play also differed by parent's gender, highest education level, and total monthly household income, but there was no difference by parents' age and occupation. Recommendations for future research and practical relevance are provided.
