As stated in the CDO Parent Handbook our philosophy is learning through play. There have been several articles in educational publications about the value of play. Child Care Information Exchange published an article entitled Taking Play Home: Encouraging Parents to Encourage Play. The article states Our culture tends to view play as the opposite of academic accomplishment rather than a means to getting there . . . play is often said to be a childs work – -work that comes naturally to the child.
Just as a child crawls before walking a child will play parallel with another child before they play cooperatively. The teachers at CDO are continually guiding the children with the appropriate language to use to communicate successfully with one another. Giving children the words to communicate their wants and needs to others makes everyones life easier.
There are many different types of play and children need all types of play to thrive and learn including play that stimulates the development of gross motor muscles and skills fine motor muscles and skills cognitive capacity the imagination sensory perception skills and social skills. All of these types of play are incorporated into the CDO curriculum at each age level.
