Play-based learning

Play-based learning is a familiar, inclusive and age-appropriate pedagogy for children from birth to eight years. It’s the most appropriate way for young children to learn, as it offers opportunities to explore concepts and ideas in a concrete way that’s developmentally appropriate for the way young children’s brains work.

Engaging young learners

Receive how-to guides, practical examples and lesson plans to better implement play-based learning in your classrooms, services and schools. These tools promote a holistic approach to teaching and effective learning for children across required learning areas and outcomes.

Age and stage-appropriate pedagogy

Research tells us play-based learning is an effective pedagogy that’s developmentally appropriate in both early childhood education and school settings. These resources build teacher, educator and leader understanding of what it is, why it’s important for young children’s learning and how it supports a strong start to school.
