Play is how children in Kindergarten Dubai come to understand the world, and use their senses, like touching, tasting, smelling, hearing, and seeing. Learning as they mix colors, dig holes, explore a new texture, climb stairs, listen to music, crawl in play tubes and our a glass of water, is key to a child's development. They are learning about what things are, how they work, the shape of things and how their own bodies work as they push and pull, jump and stretch, stir and swirl, roll and stand very still. The world becomes their own private laboratory to engage their whole bodies in exploration and discovery.
Children can often be social butterflies and through play, learn how to make friends. Letting a child interact with a peer group, freely is a great way for parents to help children make friends. While children play with other children in the Children's Nursery in Dubai, setting, they learn about displaying emotions such as what makes them sad or happy. They learn how to work together towards a goal, leadership skills, and how to get along in a group. They learn how to be kind and what to do when someone is unkind, both two very important lessons.
Children learn many behavioral qualities when they interact with children at a Preschool in Dubai. This is where they are exposed to children of many cultures and different ages. They learn how to share, take turns, negotiate, lead, follow, listen, collaborate, plan, imagine, and show affection. There are 6 stages of what a child's play looks like.
- Unoccupied Play: Children just observe with no playing.
- Solitary Play: Children play by themselves.
- Onlooker Play: Children watch others play, but do not join in.
- Parallel Play: Children play side by side, but don't interact. They may watch each other and do the same things.
- Associative Play: Children are playing together, but not in an organized way. They are interesting, but don't appear to have a goal.
- Cooperative Play: Children play together in an organized, coordinated way.
Children will go back and forth between these stages, but as they get older, they will prefer the association or cooperative play approach.
Children need an unstructured and unscheduled time to explore and discover. Learning happens most effectively with open-ended materials that can be used in different ways to nurture creativity. Use materials such as building-blocks, Legos™, sand, water, dirt, a small wheelbarrow, small shovels and balls of many sizes.
Child's play time can be enhanced by the presence of a nurturing adult in the form of a parent or an educator, at home or at your child's Nursery in Jumeirah. The child leads the play time and the parent follows. Also, make sure to guide your child's play, while on a play date or at the playground. Your presence enables another level of meaningful play to happen, such as the child may figure out that with you being there he or she can figure out a tough situation or try something they would try out on their own.
