About the course

In this course, learners will delve into the essential principles of young children's learning through schematic play. Through exploring play theories, learners will gain insights into how children engage with and understand the world, which is crucial for their developmental journey. 

Learners will identify various types of schematic play commonly observed in children, interpret recurring actions and behaviours, and create environments conducive to building upon children's interests while fostering the development of new skills.
