Playgroup for Pre-Kindergarten at Megabangna

The first steps to your child’s learning journey

Let’s face it! Parenting is not easy. Aside from caring for their child’s needs, parents also have to work and deal with taking care of finances, household responsibilities, and more. When overwhelmed with all these responsibilities, it’s often difficult for parents to focus on their baby or toddler’s learning. Luckily, parents have an opportunity to teach their children in a fun and engaging way through playgroups.

Playgroup at D-PREP

Playgroups vary from organization to organization. At D-PREP International School Bangna, playgroups are connected to our early years curriculum, including play-based learning, the Reggio Emilia approach, and Life Skills Framework. Here’s how D-PREP playgroup incorporates these learning styles:

Note: Though activities are led by professional and fully qualified Teacher and Teacher-Assistant; a child should always be accompanied by their parent or guardian at all times.

Benefits of playgroup in early childhood

In a playgroup, parents and guardians get together with their babies and toddlers to connect and learn through play. Research shows that play deprivation during early childhood development causes long-term effects such as isolation, depression, reduced self-control, and poor resilience.

Playgroups allow children aged 11 months to 3 years old to move and explore their surroundings safely under adult supervision. They also better bond with their parents and guardians, which improves holistic development. Most of all, playgroups teach parents techniques to merge education and play in their child’s day-to-day activities.
