What is Play to Learn?

Whether it’s Maths, English or Physical Development, children learn through play during the Foundation Phase. 

Play to Learn is our approach to encouraging children aged 3-7 to learn through key movement skills and practical activities.

​

Physical development (or physical literacy) is about encouraging the growth of motor skills – such as running, jumping, catching and kicking – as well as smaller, fine manipulative skills such as cooking, block building and handwriting.

​

Helping children to develop energy and enthusiasm for practical activities gives them confidence and a great start in life.
