Play is a context for learning through which children actively discover, create, improvise, and imagine. It expands thinking and enhances the desire to learn 🧠✨ #eylf #playislearning #learningthroughplay #earlychildhoodeducation #playbasedlearning #earlyyears #childdevelopment #littlepines #careforkids #kidsplay #importanceofplay #developmentalmilestones #startstrong #earlylearningmatters

Our preschoolers made their own lunch 🍕 So many skills were used and developed throughout this fun experience - communication, language, creativity and precision - as the children explored concepts of measurement and the science behind cooking and melting cheese. The real question is, does pineapple belong on a pizza? Comment 🍍 for team yes or 🍕 for team no 😂 #earlychildhoodeducation #cookingwithkids #pizza #playbasedlearning #earlyyears #childdevelopment #littlepines #careforkids #learningthroughplay #preschool #preschoollearning #teachersfollowteachers #collaborationinchildcare #playislearning #startstrong #earlylearningmatters #skillsforlife
