Learning Through Play

• Play is key to the way young children learn.

• Through play children can develop the confidence needed for learning; the social skills needed for personal development and the skills needed for reading and writing.

• Good quality play activities provide experiences through which children learn

• Play helps young children to progress in a non-threatening and enjoyable way and instils confidence
