At PCP you and your child will discover the beauty of learning through PLAY!
PLAY is voluntary and intrinsically motivated. Children freely choose the content and direction of their activity.
PLAY is symbolic, meaningful, and transformational.
PLAY is active. Children experiment, investigate, and inquire with people, objects or events.
PLAY is pleasurable. When children play they pursue an activity for the intrinsic pleasure it brings.
Learning through PLAY:
Enables children to make sense of their world
Develops social and cultural understandings
Allows children to express their thoughts and feelings
Fosters flexible and divergent thinking
Provides opportunities to meet and solve real problems
Develops language and literacy skills and concepts
