Play Learn Teach is a channel that supports a community of parents and early childhood educators looking to create meaning through nourishing encounters within early learning. Play Learn Teach draws on the lived experiences and expertise of Ignite Minds family day care, OLA Early childhood teachers and Dragonfly Toys. We recognise that quality early years education and care is pivotal to the development of intelligent, compassionate and well adjusted adults. We value the intellect, imagination and creativity of childhood and seek to encourage creative play for the whole community in the most practical hands on and inclusive way. We emphasis artistic expression and social capacities, fostering both creative and analytical modes of understanding.
