Open Learning Space for Babies
Play Is Learning
Play is the most natural way of learning. At Baby Leela, we nurture this power of play to facilitate learning.
Babies Are Designed To Play
Babies play all the time… with or without props. For babies, engaging with patterns, colours, sounds and energies everything is a play. The space and props at Baby Leela is arranged to facilitate learning at it’s optimum best.
What Do You Need To Play?
And… Someone To Play With?
Do babies actually play with others? There are different types of play one engages in as they grow up. Play with friends or playmates begins after their sense of individual (I, Me) becomes stronger by the end of infancy and beginning of toddlerhood. Till then, they might not learn playing with others, but they learn through seeing others engage in play, primarily when they see their parents play.
Through activities in the Baby Leela Centre, an infant may engage in the following ways:
- Unoccupied Play – Play for babies is not always about activities. As they view the world, within themselves they observe and learn about colours, shapes, interaction, their surroundings and energies
- Independent Play – Solo play helps to learn about their surroundings, build independence, practice creativity, experience cause and effect and fine-tune motor skills.
- Symbolic Play – Experiments with symbolic play occur when the child uses one object to represent another.
- Onlooker Play – Children may want to watch family playing but not participate themselves. Benefits of onlooker players may not be evident, but in fact they are learning how to play and interact with others.
