Play Based Learning is an approach to teaching that focuses on children’s natural curiosity and desire to explore their world. It is a way of thinking about education that promotes the importance of play and discovery. In this blog post you'll get some tips on how to start with play based teaching.

Play allows children to explore, discover, negotiate, take risks, create meanings, solve problems- all of which help develop cognitive, physical, social and emotional development in children.
