Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development.

Play allows children to create and explore a world they can master, conquering their fears while practicing adult roles, sometimes in conjunction with other children or adult caregivers. As they master their world, play helps children develop new competencies that lead to enhanced confidence and the resiliency they will need to face future challenges.

“I LOVE that everyone is family and welcomed. The support given by all staff. The different study options so everyone can study. I know being a mum but even when I was working full time, on site study wasn't an option for me but doing it online I was still able to do my desired course and not miss out on an opportunity.
