Why learning through play?
Toddlers are at the most exciting developmental stage. The problem with many traditional playschools is that in these large groups with unstructured free-play or a ‘skills’ focussed curriculum the real needs of the pre-schooler are not catered for. Research has proven that guided imaginary play is the best way children age 2 to 4 learn language, socialisation, and self-regulation.
Play Sense’s evidence-based program is designed to develop these and other important skills like empathy, focus, collaboration, and creativity in a fun, engaging way. With these super skills in place, children can go on to have a meaningful learning journey and lifelong success.
