How do children learn?

From the day they are born, children learn
and develop by:

• touching
• seeing
• hearing
• smelling 
• tasting
• moving
• doing (for example, playing).

learning is shaped by the day-to-day experiences within
their family and community. Children learn by playing
in places where they feel safe, respected, and loved.
Children’s play is children’s work. Remember, you
