Imagination is a great gift and fortunately there is no such thing as a totally unimaginative child. The children at Crawford Pre-Primary Pretoria have wonderful imaginations. “Their imagination is a powerful tool where they apply their minds to work over images and weave it into all new experiences,” says Sulochnee Nair, Principal at Crawford Pre-Primary Pretoria.
All children often have a specially rich make-believe world, as well as a great interest in the real world. “We believe, at Crawford Pre-Primary, that a child’s use of fantasy and imagination should be encouraged. By promoting fantasy play we are not just validating the work of childhood, but we are promoting thought, language, and psycho-social health. Add to that the fact that this type of play is self-motivated, natural, and enjoyable, and you have the recipe for a fabulous learning opportunity,” Nair concludes.
