"Play is the highest form of research."
Albert Einstein.
Children in play-based preschools have been found to possess better self-regulation, attention, self-discipline, working memory, and more - all of which are critical to success in academics and interpersonal relationships. Play not only encourages physical development (motor skills, muscle coordination) but also social and emotional development (cooperation, conflict resolution, empathy).
ADHD/Anxiety/Depression
Our society is seeing a drastic increase in attention deficits and anxiety/depression disorders in children. At Wild Child, we believe in giving plenty of opportunities for children to choose activities they enjoy and limiting interruptions, which builds interest, confidence, and concentration skills. There is no "right" or "wrong," no fear of being rated or judged, no testing, no pressure.
