Here at The Academy Of Gateway we are all about learning new things but know free play is important. We allow the kids to open up and let their imagination take off. Free play reinforces classroom learning for the children. We know from studies that free play is healthy for brain development, allowing children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, cognitive and physical abilities. Free play is a tool for developing a child as a whole. A mix of structure and unstructured activities is key to raising well rounded individuals.
Here are some great benefits from free play:
- Fulfills exercise requirements for growing
- helps kids conquer fears and develop confidence
- establish natural leadership roles hierarchy in social groups
- contributes to emotional well being by giving children a respite from schedules
- helps teach self responsibility which may translate to better behavior
