The Importance of Play & Learning
Engaging children in diverse activities is vital for their holistic development. Play is not just fun; it's how children learn about the world, develop social skills, solve problems, and express themselves. Structured and unstructured activities both contribute to cognitive, physical, and emotional growth.
