„There is no trade-off between early learning and children’s happiness or indeed from a child’s perspective, between learning and play. Happy, healthy children are active and curious, and enjoy the natural processes of learning. These processes occur through interactions with family and other caregivers, and through different types of play. Through these experiences children learn about and actively explore their world, as they also develop their language and other cognitive skills, social-emotional skills, and physical skills.“
