Care Routines
What is child-led learning? Child-led learning is a term used to describe education programs in which children are responsible for deciding what and/or how to learn. In some cases, it extends to kids being in control of how long they spend on a particular lesson and the methods and materials used for study.
Play
Children love to play, and play often mirrors what is important in their lives. When asked about play children
talk about having fun, being with friends, choosing activities themselves, and being outdoors. Play can be
quiet or noisy, messy or orderly, funny or serious, strenuous or effortless. It can take place inside or outside and develops as children grow and change. Children play for different reasons. Sometimes they are exploring or learning new things. At other times they are consolidating existing learning or practising a skill. Play can also be a way of building or strengthening a relationship. Children often play simply for fun and enjoyment. They bring their own interpretations of situations, events, experiences, and expectations to their play.
Time
Children need time to develop their play. They like having spaces inside and outside, and often enjoy playing
with other children and adults. They also need props such as toys, equipment and real objects to play with
and manipulate. They love to make choices about when, what, where, how, and with whom to play. These
guidelines offer information and suggestions on how the adult can extend and enrich children’s learning and development through play.
