ETC PreSchool
Play based learning is a technical way of describing the way children, especially young children, explore and make sense of their world. Children who are encouraged to learn and grow in this way learn to use their brains in different ways to understand and solve problems. Through play-based learning, children develop an understanding of the social and physical conditions that define their world, and the language and symbols that are used to describe it.
Children who have been given plenty of opportunities for play-based learning will have a great start in life. Among other things, it is believed they will develop self confidence, a positive self-image, social and language skills, curiosity, persistence and concentration. What is more, as they get older they are more likely to engage in activities, such as sport or youth clubs, which will develop their life skills further.
