What is a play-based curriculum?<\/p>\n

It can be described in a number of ways. It\u2019s a carefully planned environment that is both stimulating and exciting.

Simply put, it\u2019s a fun place to play, where children can learn without knowing learning is taking place.<\/p>\n

A play-based curriculum is developmentally appropriate for all children; this type of curriculum meets children where they are, instead of requiring them to fit within the lines of a worksheet. A play-based curriculum can be accurately described as \u201cobservation based\u201d or child-centered. These terms make sense because they recognize that children learn best when they are allowed to discover what they want to learn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
