Registered, play-based school-age childcare services
Play is at the core of the developmental process
All children want and need to play. Play is fundamental to a healthy and happy childhood, and the right to play is included in the UN’s statement of children’s rights (UNCRC – Article 31). It is through play that children have fun whilst developing intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally.
Play is nature’s superpower … practitioners are the superheroes!
Many children attend registered, play-based childcare settings. These settings provide rich environments where exciting play can happen. Children who attend after-school settings are cared for by dedicated staff who prioritise play and allow children the time and space to connect with friends, and enjoy a wide range of playful, fun opportunities.
