Learning Through Play

What is learning through play? Learning through play is a pedagogical approach where play is the valued mode of learning – where children can explore, experiment, discover, and solve problems in imaginative and playful ways. Learning through play is also called play-based learning. 
Learning Through Play works on core skills, oral language, social skills, gross and fine motor skills, self belief and independence. It naturally integrates with requirements in the NZ curriculum.
