The Importance of Play
Over 2022 and 2023, Early Childhood Australia has been celebrating children and the benefits that play has across all domains of development.
The first article attached, explains the different ways that children learn through play. It also contains examples of different types of play that children enjoy during the different stages of their lives.

This second article explain the importance of play within the home environment. The bond between parent and child can be strengthened through play experiences and quality time spent together.
I hope you find the time to read through these articles and consider the impact and importance of play in your child’s development. At Salvado Catholic College, we encourage play-based learning experiences to foster healthy relationships and a positive environment for your child to thrive.
Finally, a reminder to all our Kindy parents/carers to check their emails, as Kindy Reports will be sent out soon.
Thank you.
