Let the Kids Learn through Play

Let the Kids Learn through Play

The author of this article has collated much of the current research  probing into the effectiveness and value of exchanging play times in early childhood education with structured learning  This is a pet peeve of mine, how the  current philosophy of early childhood education advocates more learning and less play.   Research continues to indicate that extensive early education does not necessarily help students in the long run and may actually be detrimental . Child learn by playing and they need  time to play.

This article is relevant for parents and educators .
