My passion for learning through play began in my first year teaching and has evolved as I have had my own children.
No matter the age, there is one thing that has always been true in my years in education. Learning happens in the hands on moments, where kids are free to explore, laugh, experiment, and even make occasional messes.
Playful learning doesn't have to be free of rules to be effective though.
Purposeful play is focused play that through our guidance strengthens a child's learning.
