What is play-based learning?

Play is the hallmark of human growth since it is a hardwired urge that cannot be squelched.
We must understand that while the urge to play is one thing, comprehending the specifics of playing may not always come naturally and may take deliberate cultivation.

Play-based learning incorporates both child-initiated and teacher-supported learning because of this.
Through exchanges that are meant to challenge the students’ thinking, the teacher fosters the learning and curiosity of the students.
There are other foundational thinkers who have built from Piaget’s theories that support this; educators like Montessori and Stanley Greenspan have recognized that the way to teach a child is through their own interests and developed concrete strategies to do so.

Children’s thinking can be pushed during play when they participate in both real-world and made-up activities.

Meadows Schools engages in play, which in turn, encourages, stimulates, and helps children’s development of abilities, concepts, language acquisition, communication skills, and focus. Children learn best through first-hand experiences.
Children engage all of their senses when playing, express their thoughts and feelings, investigate their surroundings, and make connections between what they currently know and new information, abilities, and attitudes.
