Early childhood education is the kickstart of a child’s journey to learn and grow in this world. Early childhood experiences influence a child’s brain and ability to learn, get along with others, and handle daily problems.
Additionally, understanding the value of early childhood education can help parents recognise the part it plays in their preschoolers’ learning, which may inspire a lifelong love of learning, foster the development of social skills, and promote the development of fine motor and sensory skills in children.
Besides, teachers are revising their approaches to helping young children realise their vast learning potential. One of the most crucial methods for young children to acquire fundamental knowledge and abilities is through play. This is referred to as learn through play.
Why should parents encourage learn through play?
- Play is significant
Children use play to make sense of the environment and to give an experience they face a meaning by relating it to what they already know. Generally, children express themselves and deepen the comprehension of their experiences through play.
- Play is connectable
When children play, you will typically see that they become very engaged, frequently mixing verbal, mental, and physical engagement. This forms a sense of connection between what they are doing and what they picture around others.
- Play is dynamic
Learning and play are dynamic processes. Children learn more deeply through play by using it to practise their abilities, explore possibilities, test out theories, and find new challenges.
Why is learn through play not widely incorporated?
In many situations, memorising has always been a tradition of how a child learns. This remains a tradition as parents, teachers and the government are not aware of the benefits learn through play could bring in a child’s early childhood education. When questioned, many people claim that play is pointless and that having fun diverts attention from “real learning.” Due to these misconceptions and a lack of knowledge about the educational benefits of play, parents may not insist on playtime in preschool educational settings.
Besides, teachers are not fully prepared to introduce and implement learn through play in the classroom. Teachers mainly relate to resources of education with items like workbooks or charts rather than objects that kids can use to interact and utilise to learn. Hence, learn through play is not a primary focus.
