Play-based learning is vital to children’s development as it supports their social, emotional, physical, cognitive and creative development. Using a play-based curriculum which focuses on the needs of the children, their ideas, their interests, and their knowledge empowers and encourages children to share those ideas with their peers and gives them the courage to attempt and search out new adventures.
All children are included and welcomed to participate in all aspects of the program which creates an appreciation for and an awareness of diversity. Photographs of the children and their families are posted throughout the centre so that they can learn about the differences and similarities that exist between us. All children have the opportunity to go for walks in the neighborhood and to participate in field trips so that they can become more familiar with the community. It increases their self-esteem and helps children develop into confident, caring, capable, eager and active learners.
We arrange the environment, which is divided into different learning areas such as drama,
science, blocks, art, etc. to reflect their interests and developmental needs. For example, we
may display different kinds of gourds, seeds and leaves in the science area accompanied by
magnifying glasses to encourage exploration when the children notice changes in the weather
on their daily outings. We rotate toys and props to reflect their interests, ideas and
developmental needs. We arrange for speakers and special guests such as a Police Officer or
representatives from Pet Land to come into the centre.
