what is play ?
Our Philosophy
At Ticklemetooo childcare Child Care, we believe that early childhood is the foundation for lifelong learning. Our philosophy is centred around nurturing each child's natural curiosity, creativity, and individuality through play-based learning.
Play is an essential part of every child’s life and is vital for the enjoyment of childhood as well as social, emotional, intellectual and physical development.
When children are asked about what they think is important in their lives, playing and friends is usually at the top of the list.
- increase their self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-respect
- improve and maintain their physical and mental health
- give them the opportunity to mix with other children
- allow them to increase their confidence by developing new skills
- promote their imagination, independence and creativity
- offer opportunities for children of all abilities and backgrounds to play together
- provide opportunities for developing social skills and learning
- build resilience through risk-taking and challenge, problem-solving, and dealing with new and novel situations
- provide opportunities to learn about their environment and the wider community
