Play

Play is a child’s vehicle for learning. When children play in a group setting, they:

1. Explore concepts and ideas
2. Challenge each other’s thinking
3. Build on their knowledge and understanding
4. Problem solve
5. Express creativity
6. Develop relationships

“Play provides opportunities for children to learn as they discover, create, improvise and imagine…It provides a supportive environment where children can ask questions, solve problems and engage in critical thinking”.
