Learning Through Play
Our preschool is founded on the proven philosophy that children at the preschool level learn best through play. Play is the natural way that children learn about their surroundings: it is engaging, enjoyable and memorable. Children choose how and when to participate in play and when children play, they explore new skills and abilities.
While playing, children have opportunities to learn as they discover, improvise, create and imagine. When they play with other children, social groups are formed, new ideas are tested and new understandings built. Children’s play is representation and it provides the foundation for literacy and numeracy. Through play, children practice flexible and divergent thinking; they encounter and solve problems, and they develop self-regulation skills.
Skills and concepts children learn through unstructured, open-ended play of their own design include:
✔ social skills and relationship building
✔ negotiation, conflict resolution and problem-solving
✔ empathy and self-regulation
✔ independence and safe risk-taking
✔ leadership
✔ communication skills
✔ organizational skills
✔ imagination and creativity
✔ wonder and curiosity
