The ‘Play Group’ is a crucial and foundational stage for a child’s development, and at Welmont Pre-School, we recognize its significance. Here’s how the ‘Play Group’ is important for your child:

1. Social Interaction: Play Group provides children with their first exposure to a structured social environment outside of their family. It’s an opportunity for them to interact with peers, share, and learn essential social skills such as cooperation, communication, and conflict resolution.
2. Cognitive Development: Through age-appropriate activities and games, children in the Play Group develop cognitive skills like problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking. Our curriculum is designed to stimulate their curiosity and enhance their cognitive abilities.
3. Emotional Development: Play Group helps children express their emotions and understand the emotions of others. It fosters emotional intelligence by encouraging children to identify and manage their feelings in a supportive and nurturing setting.
4. Language Skills: Our Play Group activities focus on language development. Children learn new words, enhance their vocabulary, and begin to understand the basics of language structure through storytelling, singing, and interactive play.
5. Motor Skills: Fine and gross motor skills are honed through various activities, including art and physical play. These skills are essential for later development, including handwriting and sports participation.
6. Independence and Confidence: Play Group allows children to explore their independence in a secure environment. They learn to make choices, solve problems, and build self-confidence as they accomplish tasks and achieve milestones.
7. Creativity and Imagination: Our Play Group activities encourage creativity and imaginative play, helping children develop their creative thinking and problem-solving abilities.
8. Preparation for Formal Education: Play Group lays the foundation for formal education. It helps children become familiar with the structured learning environment, routines, and basic classroom etiquette, making their transition to higher grades smoother.

At Welmont Pre-School, we place a strong emphasis on the ‘Play Group’ stage as it is the starting point for a child’s lifelong learning journey. Our experienced educators create a nurturing and stimulating environment that allows children to thrive, explore, and develop essential skills while having fun and making friends.
