Playful learning, powerful results
Why Play Matters in Early Childhood Learning
At Rayz Kidz, we believe that play is the foundation of meaningful learning. Understanding how different types of play support development and the vital role of the adult in guiding and enhancing these experiences helps providers create engaging, enriching environments for children. Our play-based approach ensures learning is joyful, child-led, and rooted in research.
