Join The Hunt Institute on Thursday, November 19, at 2 p.m. ET for
The ABCs of Play-Based Learning in Early Childhood Education.
Play-based learning gives preschoolers structured learning
experiences without stripping away wonder.
What is play-based learning?
Play-based learning is purposeful play that connects children’s curiosity with meaningful opportunities to build early skills. Play-based classrooms become a place where teachers create clear, age-appropriate learning goals and experiences that build early literacy, early math, and overall school readiness. We hope you can join us to explore how states can support early skill development while keeping discovery at the center.
What does the research say?
Research shows that guided play produces stronger outcomes in early literacy, early math, executive functioning and social-emotional development than either purely free play or direct instruction alone.
