Play is the most powerful way to learn

Children think, try, create and discover while they play; the learning process moves forward through the child's curiosity and desire.

Dreams built in the sand

Children build structures in the sand area with moulds and toys; a play area with a reed parasol and a path lined with logs give their imagination room to grow.

“Children should grow freely, like a plant in nature.”
Inspired by Froebel's thinking · Serpil Orman Kindergarten
