"Learning through play is the mission statement of Angel Keepers Daycare. As educators, we understand that children are unique, learning at their own pace and in their own way. We recognize there are many types of learners, who eagerly enjoy discovering and investigating the properties of objects. Their curiosity is innate and they feel the need to touch, smell, poke, mix, see and hear, as they explore their environments."

Through the use of provocations, we plan experiences and activities to peek the children's interests, facilitate learning and most importantly, participation. Children are provided with the time to explore, observe, and infer. They are thinking and building their cognitive development through seeing things, people and places in new ways .

Learning through play is a term used in education and psychology to describe how a child can learn to make sense of the world around them. Through play children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments (Wikipedia) .
