Why Play-Based Learning Matters for Preschoolers

Why play-based learning matters for preschoolers?

Play-based learning for preschoolers is an engaging approach to early childhood education that emphasizes the importance of play in a child's development. This method recognizes that young children will learn best when they are actively involved in their own learning processes. This includes their natural curiosity and creativity to encourage their love of learning. 

There are many benefits to play-based learning for preschoolers. 

Through play, children develop crucial cognitive, social, and emotional skills. They learn to solve problems, interact with others, and express their emotions and opinions. Preschool learning through play fosters a love of learning, as it allows children to explore concepts and ideas at their own pace and based on their interests.

This is why our preschool online enrichment program, Class with Chloe, uses fun characters and interests that kids love like unicorns, dinosaurs, mermaids and superheroes. Seven-year-old Chloe, the host of Class with Chloe and the artist of all of art used in our educational material, is the “teacher” in all of our videos lessons. Chloe makes learning FUN like playtime with a friend...the way it should be! 

Let’s meet a few of the Class with Chloe characters:

CHLOE: your new favorite teacher and the host of Class with Chloe!

SUPERHERO DAVIS: Chloe's little brother who also happens to be a superhero who can fly!

SPARKLES THE UNICORN: a magical unicorn who loves to play games and loves rhyming!

CHOMPS THE DINOSAUR: a silly dinosaur who laughs a lot!

BUBBLES THE MERMAID: a mermaid friend who loves the alphabet and singing!

OLIVE THE CAT: a cat who loves to play Hide + Seek!

Kids love to learn from other kids! 

Chloe has taken play-based learning to new heights with her fun and playful teaching methods and the incorporation of original artwork. Our key approach to preschool learning is to be hands-on and interactive, making our educational content more engaging but there is another huge benefit: It helps children retain information better by connecting abstract concepts through repetition and activities.

Play-based learning for preschoolers is a powerful tool for early childhood development, and Chloe's exciting and fun teaching methods and artwork exemplifies its benefits. By making preschool learning an active, creative, and interactive process, Class with Chloe helps children develop a wide range of skills that are crucial for fostering their life-long love of learning. The approach of Class with Chloe not only nurtures young minds but also instills a lasting love for learning and creativity.
