Innovation in Play School: A Dream Concept | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

A few decades ago, the concept of playschools in India was unheard of, and few children, if any, attended playschools. Still, everyone grew up into mature, sensible, well read and well spoken adults. Now however it seems as if every parent send their prenursery child off to a playschool. When people hear the word “playschool,” they often envision a popular brand of children’s toys that has lived through quite a few decades. While they are right in their thoughts, playschool also refers to a nursery school that children attend for just a few hours per day. As warranted by the age group, the educational component is not very rigid. Really, deciding whether and when to send your kid to playschool is more contingent upon other factors, and here’s what you need to know. From many years I was thinking about my childhood, I started my school from 5+.but now children are stating their schooling from 2+.So the Question arises in my mind, are we becoming selfish that we are taking our children’s childhood. And I thought about Play School. How can quality play-based learning take place effectively? Early childhood educators should know the children and families in their centre; they assess, document children's learning and know their interests. Then, together with families, they plan carefully how to use play-based activities as one tool to promote the learning that will achieve the Early Years Learning Framework outcomes.Planning the environment to assist children to achieve outcomes is important in providing quality play experiences. Here I will try to explain how the play school works.
