Children are inquisitive learners who learn concepts through play because they are born with this natural curiosity. We should provide children an environment where they can build upon their natural inclination to explore, discover, and question. S.T.E.A.M.

As this learning process proceeds, their increased comfort levels grant them the confidence to begin experimenting with more challenging experiences. Additionally, as children engage in dramatic play, they start making sense of the world by actively experimenting with social and emotional roles. Children also build self-esteem as they discover they can pretend to be anything or anyone they want.
