The Benefits of Learning Through Play

Learning through play provides our Head Start and Early Head Start keiki with a plethora of developmental skills that will not only increase their knowledge base, but their cognitive abilities, social-emotional awareness, and preparedness for kindergarten. Structured and semi-structured play times provide our keiki with the ability to engage their fine motor, logic, reasoning, mathematical, and self-help skills. From learning about recycling, to using their words to effectively communicate their feelings, our keiki are provided with a head start in life. Play makes learning fun!
