Play-Based Learning
At the Beaconhouse School System, the Early Years Curricula are based upon active forms of learning, on enquiry, on discovery, and on first-hand experiences. They are framed in terms of activity and experience rather than knowledge to be acquired and facts to be stored. The subjects are referred to as areas of experience.
