At a young age, learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom or through academic instruction, it also happens through play. At Nursery School, play is not just fun, it is an important process that supports various aspects of young children’s development. Find out why play plays a crucial role during this age.

 

1. Enhance children's brain development
Playing stimulates children's brain development, especially playing games that require creativity and problem solving, such as playing with blocks, building blocks, or creating imaginary situations. These are taught in nursery schools, helping to strengthen brain cell connections, allowing children to learn faster and be more creative.

2. Develop social skills
In nursery schools, children play and do activities with their friends, which helps them learn how to share, wait in line, work as a team, and communicate with others. Playing in groups also helps children understand the feelings and perspectives of others, laying a good foundation for future socialization.

3. Develop motor skills
Play activities at nursery schools often include light exercises such as running, climbing, or playing physical games, which help develop large and small muscles, increasing strength and agility in young children.

4. Build self-confidence
Playing allows children to experiment and learn new things in a safe environment, such as trying to build blocks higher or acting out roles. Children will feel proud and confident when they succeed, which is an important foundation for developing self-identity.

5. Create a space for natural learning
Young children learn best when they feel free and have fun. Play in a nursery school creates a fun learning environment, such as exploring nature, drawing or doing simple experiments, which allows children to learn without feeling forced.

 

Play is not just an entertaining activity, but an important tool that helps develop children in all dimensions: mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially. At Nursery School, play is designed to suit the age and needs of young children, so that they grow up in balance and happily every day. Because "playing and learning" is the best way to prepare young children for their future.
