This year, why not opt for a productive and creative way to spend the holiday break? If you like that idea, head on to PLAY (Purposeful Learning and Activities for the Young) at OKADA Manila. It is a family-friendly destination where kids can practice adult roles. At the same time, their adult companions will learn to better connect with them, the young ones.
A report published by the American Academy of Pediatrics stressed the importance of play in a child’s life. It noted that through play, children can develop their cognitive, dexterity, emotional, imagination, and physical skills.
Promoting Well-Roundedness
At PLAY, children aged 1 – 16 years old can enjoy the learning experience with or without a playmate. This place features eight different neighborhoods or play areas distinctly designed to house activities that foster their holistic growth in a fun approach. There is an interactive video game space, hands-on play, multilevel playground, and maze among others.
Additionally, PLAY also offers learning programs meant to address the developmental needs of young people engagingly and memorably. There are group sessions focused on music, dance, and the performing arts. Another example is the arts and crafts program and classes on practical life skills, good housekeeping, and social graces, to name a few.
For the Young at Heart
Along with the kids, adults can also take away valuable lessons from PLAY’s initiative, particularly in the program called Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. This is where adults can update and expand their knowledge as well as improve their skills in caring for and interacting with children.
During a trip to the playground, parents and caregivers alike can witness the children reach significant milestones in their young lives. At the playground, adults can likewise gain a profound learning experience as they are being reminded to see the world from the eyes of an innocent child.
Time Well Spent
Spend the holiday break with the people you care about. While taking time off from the demands of everyday life, take the opportunity to make up for the lost time. The long break is a good time to bond and learn about what the people close to you are recently up to. The holiday break is your chance to enjoy each other’s company and make great memories together.
Preparing for the Future
Play can be seen as a creative approach to learning. In their world of make-believe, children learn to express, enquire, experiment, interact, and discover among others. In other words, they gain a better understanding of the world. At an early age, children also start to develop the necessary skills they need for the future.
