Why Play-Based Learning is Important

At MIS Hinjawadi, we recognise that play is a powerful medium through which children learn about themselves and the world around them. Play-based learning lays the foundation for a lifelong love of learning and discovery.

What is Play-Based Learning?

Play-based learning is an approach where children learn academic and social skills through structured and unstructured play. It encourages exploration, creativity, imagination and problem-solving in a joyful environment.

It develops cognitive and language skills, enhances physical and motor abilities, promotes emotional and social growth, and encourages teamwork and cooperation.

"Play is the highest form of research."

Our Approach at MIS Hinjawadi: dedicated play areas and activity corners; guided group games and interactive storytelling; learning through music, dance and drama; and an emphasis on fun, safety and inclusion.

We believe that play-based learning helps children develop not just knowledge, but also the social and emotional skills they need to thrive in life.
