ll that screen time is cutting into the hours that children spend playing outside, which comes with a host of benefits during the early years.
From building up their immunity to picking up social skills, here are some of the ways in which children can benefit from outdoor play
According to a 2018 article on the Independent, one in four children under six now own a smartphone – and almost half of them spend up to 21 hours on their devices per week. That works out to around three hours each day – precious hours which should be spent playing rather than scrolling through games and apps.
At some MindChamps PreSchool centres, children get to enjoy playtime outside right outside their centre which comes with a dedicated outdoor play area. For example, at MindChamps PreSchool @ Concorde Hotel, the preschoolers get to go on the slides and try out games like hopscotch at the bright and cheery outdoor playground. The children have a lot of fun trying out and inventing new games with each other.
