All children love to learn. The real question is how to teach. At LSS, we’ve seen that children learn by doing. Adults have jobs – children play. Through play, they learn the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual skills they need to develop into happy and well-adjusted individuals.
Parents may wonder how play can help their child reach his or her full potential. Shouldn’t they be doing math or learning letters? They are – research says that play lays a strong foundation for a child’s creativity, as well as reading, writing and mathematical reasoning.
