Each area of learning and development must be applied through planned, purposeful play and through a mix of teacher-led and child-initiated activity. Play is necessary for children’s development, building their confidence as they learn to explore, to solve problems, and relate to others. Children learn by leading their own play, and by participating in play which is directed by adults.
We recognize each child’s developing requirements and inspirations, guiding their development through sincere, constructive interaction. As children grow older, and as their development permits, it is expected that the balance will progressively shift towards more activities led by adults, to help children prepare for more structured learning, ready for primary school.
