The importance of play in our curriculum
Play is predominant in the early years at Kinma. It is seen as a leading factor in the child's development. Central to the success of play is the child's self-control.
From play, children learn how to behave in social situations that are acceptable. Since play is child-centred and directed, the children learn self-discipline and self-motivation.
