Course Content

This two‑session course supports parents to understand the importance of play in children’s learning and development. Across two interactive 2‑hour sessions, parents explore how play supports communication, emotional wellbeing, confidence and problem‑solving, and how learning is embedded in everyday play experiences. Using discussion, practical examples and reflection, the course helps parents recognise the value of play, understand their role in supporting it, and gain confidence in creating playful learning opportunities at home.
