Abstract	Rwanda's vision for Early Childhood Development is presented in its national ECD Policy as well as its integrated ECD Strategic Plan of 2011. Since then, the ECD development is notable with curriculum reform and school infrastructure development. With the target to accelerate ECD enrolment by 2018 (1 preschool per village), it requires enormous investments in infrastructures. The role of play in ECD has called a complexity of school facilities and the educators understanding in order to make a success. This study 'The Benefits of Play for Child's Creativity, Case of Nursery Schools of Nyarugenge District'; will investigate (a) the schools facilities important to games and play (b) ways to promote children's numeracy, literacy and life skills through play and games (c) the teachers' understanding on promoting creative education through play and games.The sample of 35 among 174 educators participated in this research. The research is mainly quantitative and used a survey research design. A questionnaire was used to collect data but also a non-participatory observation. The findings shows that teachers understand the way of promoting learning through play particularly creativity. Schools are facing some challenges of lack of space, big size of class, and the inappropriate buildings for teaching kids. Recommendations were drawn to the readers and policy makers that play should be focused for early childhood education and practitioners of early education should bear in mind that the environment is safe for learners to learn through play.
