This article deals with the problem of understanding play in the contemporary context of quality assessment of early childhood education. The relationships between the concepts of playing and learning and the role of an adult in the organization and support of children’s play are considered. Further, the question of expediency regarding the instrumentalization and regulation of children’s play in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is posed. The position paper calls attention to the importance of independent but also supported children’s play activity in ECEC and the current tendency to restrict or redirect its value according to the evaluation of predetermined outcomes in ECEC.
