Description

Play-based learning is important for young children to develop their cognitive and social skills. In play-based learning teachers guide play, kids learn new ideas, and get to explore on their own. In classrooms with kids of different abilities, play helps them interact with others and manage their behavior. Balancing kids’ freedom with teacher support helps children grow in their thinking, language, and emotions while creating a welcoming learning environment.
