At RightChoice Family Day Home Agency, we believe that play is the foundation of learning. Play is how children explore their world, build relationships, and develop lifelong skills. When children play, they’re not just having fun — they’re learning in every moment.
What Is “Learning Through Play”?
Learning through play means children explore, experiment, and discover while having fun. Whether stacking blocks, pretending to cook, or exploring nature, they develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
Through play, children:
• Strengthen social skills like sharing and communication.
• Build emotional understanding and resilience.
• Develop cognitive skills such as counting and sorting.
• Improve motor coordination through active play and movement.
Types of Play That Build Development
1. Physical Play – Encourages movement, coordination, and strength.
2. Constructive Play – Fosters creativity and problem-solving with building and art activities.
3. Pretend Play – Expands imagination and emotional expression.
4. Social Play – Teaches teamwork, empathy, and communication.
5. Quiet Play – Encourages focus, independence, and self-regulation.
Each type of play supports children’s growth in a unique way. Our educators ensure daily routines include all forms of play for balanced development.
