Why Play Matters at NAISR - The Importance of Early Years Education

Often parents think the most important learning in a child’s life happens when the stakes are highest: in the run up to exams and university admissions. Developmental scientists beg to differ. They point out that ages zero to five are when the foundations of a brain are built. But the way those foundations are laid is not through sitting at small desks or learning to read by age three. It happens through relationships and through play.

"The earliest moments of development and schooling are crucial in helping to nurture confident and motivated young learners. Play is an integral part of a child's development, and our use of the International Early Years Curriculum places play and the experiences of the child right at the centre of everything we do here in our Early Years provision."

The Early Years of childhood establish the foundation for continued educational success. Learn more about our Early Years programme here at NAISR and how we nurture thoughtful young learners by watching this webinar, visiting this page of website, or by scheduling a tour (which can also be done right here via our website).
