play-based curriculum

A play-based curriculum is an educational approach that uses play as the primary way children explore, learn, and develop skills. Instead of traditional classroom lessons, it encourages children to engage in activities like building, role-playing, and creative arts, which foster curiosity, problem-solving, social skills, and cognitive growth. This method recognizes that children learn best through active, hands-on experiences and allowing them to direct their own learning within a supportive environment. It promotes natural development by integrating learning with play, making education enjoyable and meaningful for young children.
