Analyse The Importance Of Learning Through Play

A context for learning through which children organise and make sense of their social worlds as they engage activity with people, objects and representations” (Early Years learning Framework, 2010, p3.) Learning through play supports development of intellectual skills and understanding, development of creative skills and the development of social and emotional skills and understanding (Early Years learning Framework, 2010, p3). Infants and Toddlers will have ‘simple’ play compared to a preschooler, however, this is most important as toddlers will have absorbed sensorimotor and manipulative play with other objects. Using learning through play is important in an early care setting because it allows the child to have personality and uniqueness.
