with the rapid development and progress of society, the members of the public have an increasing positive understanding and identity of education especially on infants and young children’s early childhood education. Thus the importance of play during children’s growth and development has been universally acknowledged, as “play is probably one of the most important elements of childhood.” (Bruce, Meggitt, & Grenier, 2010, p. 350). In this context, this paper will focus on why play is a framework for
CECE 2703 CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENT Open learning environment refers to the shared spaces and all the activities therein and the materials provided to children within the early years education context to further enhance their learning opportunities, and provide them with a rich experience in their foundation years.

Role play is an important part of child as it helps to develop the social aspect of a child development; it builds confidence, creativity communication, physical development, language development and problem solving (Van Hoorn, et al, 1999)
their children. It is difficult for parents to create a learning environment at home with limited time and or financial resources. (Drudy, 2009) Parents have a huge influence on their children’s education; According to Ball et all (1994) middle class parents have more choice when it comes to choosing their children’s school.

It was recognized that the experiences children having during pre-school can have a formative and lasting impresions on their development. Although there was an increased in the perceived importance of early childhood learning, achieving basic primary education remains one of the greatest challenges in the Philippines. The
Child perception: Introduction: Planning and designing the physical environment based on adult observation and insight will not be applicable to the children’s functioning. All the parameters of architecture that we currently apply in designing the spaces in the physical environment and the method is not coherent with theories on the children’s development in the environment. This suggests that function determines the value of a place, not its form or color. In other words, adults perceive space more
2.4 Experiential Architecture Sensorial Experiences While the importance of a sensory rich environment is obvious to most, in contemporary designs, attention to the senses is usually limited to sacred spaces. While they play just as important a role in everyday spaces, they are often left out of design considerations. Touch, smell, and other sensations are key in what we call experience. They are the receptors with which we move through and understand space. These sensory signals have a large impact
It has been well documented that parent-child play has an important influence on child development, and it is commonly used in early childhood as a predictive measure of child language development (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Early Child Care Research Network, 2000; Tamis-LeMonda, Bornstein, & Baumwell, 2001; Clarke-Stewart, Vandell, Burchinal, O’Brien, & McCartney, 2002; Tamis‐LeMonda, Shannon, Cabrera, & Lamb, 2004; Ginsburg, 2007; Tamis-LeMonda, Baumwell, & Cabrera

The framework contains learning goals that gives educators
The quality of empathy allows the good side of human nature to shine through. In the case of Scout, the young protagonist in To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, empathy plays a crucial role in her moral development as she navigates the evils of a closed-minded Southern society. By following her father Atticus’s advice, she manages to resist the influence of hateful attitudes in her town. Without her ability to empathize, Scout is just as much at fault as the prejudiced and unaccepting residents
