Our commitment extends to furnishing a secure and imaginative indoor play area exclusively with the intent of delighting children and our profound interest in science and data. The ever-growing body of research in the realms of child development and educational psychology underscores the crucial benefits of open-ended, imaginative play for young minds, as well as the importance of reducing children’s exposure to electronic devices.
WHY WE PROMOTE PLAY
Recent research has found that recreational and physical activities have a lasting effect on children’s mental and physical development.
Engaging in safe, stable and nurturing active imaginative play, also known as pretend play, is essential for the advancement of executive functioning skills and life course trajectories.
Playing is a skill booster:
- Cognitive Skills: It enhances problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking as children imagine and navigate various scenarios.
- Confidence building: When children play independently, they reinforce their ability to trust themselves and help them take leadership roles within their groups.
- Social Skills: Pretend play encourages cooperation, sharing, and communication with peers, improving social interactions.
- Emotional Development: It helps children express and understand their feelings, fostering emotional intelligence.
- Language Skills: Pretend play promotes vocabulary expansion, storytelling, and language development.
- Creative thinking: Studies have demonstrated that playing stimulates the creative area of the brain, having a positive effect on a child’s future development.
- Self-Regulation: Children learn to control impulses, follow rules, and take turns during imaginative play, enhancing self-discipline.
- Empathy: Pretend play allows kids to see situations from different perspectives, promoting empathy and understanding.
- Motor Skills: Actions like building, dressing up, or using props develop fine and gross motor skills.
- Confidence: Success in pretend scenarios boosts self-esteem and self-confidence.
- Brain Development: Imaginative play stimulates brain growth by creating neural connections and enhancing brain flexibility.
