Follow along as we travel through the world of play-based learning and discover how our school sets the standard for early childhood education.
Understanding Natural Play
Natural play, also known as play-based learning or learning through play, refers to the instinctive way children explore, create and make sense of the world. It encompasses various activities, from imaginative play to hands-on experimentation, all driven by the child’s innate curiosity and desire to learn. Some benefits of natural play include:
- strengthening holistic development
- fostering curiosity and imagination
- promoting hands-on exploration
- cultivating positive social skills
- building a foundation for lifelong learning
The Magic of Learning through Play
We understand that children learn best when they’re having fun. That’s why our curriculum is centred around the power of play. From imaginative role-play to hands-on exploration, every activity engages the minds of your little ones and ignites a passion for learning. Whether building with blocks, creating art or exploring nature, every moment at Rothewood Academy is an opportunity for growth and discovery.

We also invest in ongoing professional development to ensure they have the knowledge, skills and resources they need to excel in their roles.

Our play-based curriculum is carefully crafted to cater to each child’s unique needs and interests. From sensory exploration to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities, our curriculum covers an array of subjects and skills, providing a well-rounded foundation for future learning.
By learning through play and hands-on experiences, children develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities and a love for knowledge that will last forever.

We understand the importance of stimulating environments that inspire curiosity, creativity and exploration. Our thoughtfully designed classrooms encourage open-ended play and hands-on learning. From cozy reading nooks to interactive learning centers, all our spaces stimulate young minds and encourage exploration.
Our spaces are also inviting, filled with natural materials, loose parts and open-ended resources that encourage learning through play. With consciously designed spacious outdoor natural play areas, our children have plenty of room to run, jump and play to their heart’s content.
Children at Rothewood Academy Early learning centres are encouraged to follow their interests, ask questions and pursue their passions. Our educators act as guides and facilitators, supporting their learning journey.

Education is a partnership between home and school. That’s why we work closely with parents to ensure each child receives the support and encouragement they need to succeed.
