Play N Learn

Play is crucial for a child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. It’s the child’s way of learning about his body and the world, and he’ll use all five senses to do it, especially in the first year.

Play can be interpreted in many different ways. When used to refer to an adult activity, it usually means taking part in a game requiring physical or mental skills. When it is used to refer to a child’s activity, however , it is usually taken to mean something that has no serious point to it. Many parents start to think that their child is wasting time playing all day long and force their very young child to sit down, learning from flash cards and doing other academic activities that they though the child might gain more. That is one misconception.

To a child, play is an enjoyable, voluntary , purposeful and spontaneously chosen activity.  It is often creative, involved problem solving, learning new social skills , new language and new physical skills.
