At Roseville Kids Care we are committed to Article 31 of the UN Convention on the rights of the child – the child’s right to play and leisure opportunities. Free play and leisure activities provide opportunities for children to learn as they discover, create, improvise and imagine.
As educators we believe that children have a structured busy day and at Roseville Kids Care we need to be as unstructured as we possibly can within the bounds of reason. We give children the choice and freedom to play within a safe and supportive environment. By giving children unstructured play time to engage in discovery, physical, creative, imaginative and manipulative play we are allowing children to develop socially, emotionally and cognitively.
We strive to create an environment with plenty of options for the children to choose from.
When children choose what and how to play, they learn important skills and life lessons that are different to those they learn when playing adult-directed games and activities.
At Roseville Kids Care, educators allow time and create spaces that encourage children to explore, build relationships, solve problems and create meaning.
