Play and Learn

Play and Learn is a pre preschool program for young children ages 0-5 and the grandparent, aunts, uncles, parents, older brothers and sisters, friends or others who take care of them.  

Play and Learn’s curriculum guidelines are built upon what we know about how people –of all ages-learn best, including:  Through trying and experiencing new things and through discovery and play, by interacting with others and with the support of people who care about them, in the context of their families, communities and cultures, when they are valued and respected, and when they are healthy and their basic needs are met. 

Play and Learn takes a whole child –whole family-whole community approach.  Through play, children develop their bodies, language and literacy, problem solving and cognitive skills, understanding of emotions, and learn how to get along with others.  Curriculum is what actually happens at Play and Learn.  Children learn through developmentally appropriate play with peers and caregivers.  Caregivers learn about the value of play in children’s development and how to promote Play and Learn through everyday activities at home.   

Play and Learn works with parents to support them in preparing children for success in school and life through a quality program.  Play and Learn provides parents and caregivers with information, resources, support, and connections to promote optimal development of their children. 

We'll have fun learning together.  Join us in creating art, circle time story and songs, playing, and snack time.   Please call   452-KIDS  or 800-300-1247, for more information about Play and Learn groups throughout Clallam, Jefferson, and Kitsap county communities.
