Play-based Learning Approach
Growing and learning through play
- Personal, Social & Emotional Development: Children build confidence, self-awareness, and form positive relationships through group play, role-playing, and collaborative games.
- Communication & Language: Stories, songs, discussions, and imaginative play help children develop listening skills, expand vocabulary, and express themselves clearly.
- Physical Development: Indoor and outdoor play enhances both fine and gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, balance, and overall physical health.
- Literacy: Through phonics games, picture books, mark-making, and storytelling, children begin to recognize sounds, letters, and early writing patterns.
- Mathematics: Concepts like counting, sorting, shapes, and measuring are introduced through engaging puzzles, building blocks, and everyday activities.
- Understanding the World: Children explore nature, culture, technology, and their environment, developing curiosity and awareness of the world around them.
- Creative Development: Music, movement, drawing, painting, and drama inspire imagination and allow children to express their ideas and emotions freely.
