Learning through Play Philosophy

Learning through play is a type of program and a term used in child development and education. The main idea behind learning through play is to provide a stimulating environment with various options for age-appropriate play. For example, a toddler is in the physical developmental stage of picking up smaller objects (fine motor skills). A childcare worker can provide various activities to practice this emerging skill, such as Lego block building or doll play.

By allowing children to play, they do the things they love but are also learning through their senses; this allows development more holistically, socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. Play is also the best way for children to gain confidence and independence and develop critical thinking skills. It is currently the leading way to raise healthy and balanced children.

At Mahogany Learning Centre, we nurture play by providing socially rich opportunities for developmentally appropriate learning. We believe that play empowers children to discover, gather, and use information and to problem-solve in a positive, productive, and supportive manner. Contact us about enrollment today.
