Play To Learn

  Play is important for children's developmental growth. Different types of play are also the only way they can take part in the social function of the adult world. It starts with games with babies and children's play.

The following is a poem by unknown author that states it so nicely:

Play Today

You say you love your children and are concerned they learn today so am I - that is why I am providing different types of play.

You are asking me the value of blocks and other such play your children are solving problems they will use that skill everyday.

You are asking what's the value of having children's play your daughters creating a tower she may be a builder someday

You are saying you don't want your son to play that sissy way he is learning to cuddle a doll he may be a father someday

You question the interest centres they just look like useless play your children are making choices they will be on their own one day

You are worried your children aren't learning and later they will have to pay they are learning a process of learning for they will be learning always.

Play with babies consists of GAMES WITH BABIES UNDER 12 MONTHS & GAMES WITH BABIES OVER 12 MONTHS which we will explore in the next session.
