Learning through play is a term used in education and psychology to describe how a child can learn to make sense of the world around them. Through play children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments. If you would like your two-year-old to experience independence and play in a group setting, mornings are the perfect time for them to join us at Playmates. We have spent more than fourteen years helping little ones discover that separation can open up a whole new world to explore. Separation anxiety? Not a problem. Just take it slowly and show your child that you have confidence in them and their ability to adapt and cope with a new experience. During their visits they will begin to develop skills like sharing, following directions, understanding boundaries, and making transitions. While this is not a structured, academic preschool approach, your child will be learning and growing towards preschool. Mornings can also be a great time for three and four-year olds to benefit from playtime with Playmates.
