Why the Red Bouncy Ball?
The ball is the universal toy and every child will play with it differently. Some children will roll it, kick it about, use it as a stool, role play athletic moments of glory, cover it with mud or pretend that it is treasure. All of these ways of playing with a ball are good because as we now know from countless studies, play is a child’s work. Play is the way that they learn.
As parents, let’s ask ourselves what keeps our child’s focus the longest? If your child came into our centre, where would they go? Would they go straight to the turf and play ball, or would they head to the dance studio? Would your child want to build with blocks or play an instrument? Would they want to practice a language or practice cursive writing? Would your child like to get messy in the art studio? We need to give our children lots of time to just play.
At the Duran Place for Kids, everything is purely recreational. Exploration is encouraged here. It may take some trials and this is where we are different from other children’s learning centres. You and your child are not obligated to stay committed for months at a time to just one activity.
If your child is not enjoying what they sign up for, then you simply stop and pick another activity. They may also add more than one activity to their week.
If we follow your child’s interests, from that strength will come the confidence that they need to succeed in life. What’s your child’s play?
Schedule – lots of choices in one building!
To help balance busy family life.
We understand that family life can be busy. That is why Duran Place for Kids is pleased to offer parents on-line weekly sign-up schedules for their children’s play and learning.
Pick and choose what you like to do.
