Risky Play: Building Confidence At Treetops Preschools
Risky play plays a key role in children’s learning and development, providing opportunities for tamariki to challenge themselves and test their abilities. At Treetops preschools, including our Botany childcare centres and Pukekohe childcare centre, we support children’s engagement in age-appropriate risky play in a safe and nurturing environment.
Risky play, such as climbing, balancing, and rough-and-tumble activities, allows children to develop cognitive, emotional, social, and physical skills. It also builds independence and confidence. Guided by the principles of Te Whāriki, our kaiako ensure children can take risks while learning how to keep themselves safe.
