How Play Sense Seeks To Teach Kids Through Play-based Learning
How Play Sense Seeks To Teach Kids Through Play-based Learning. Play Sense is a company that believes that the best learning happens through play. Its accredited curriculum, designed for toddlers aged 2 to 5, nurtures curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, setting the foundation for lifelong learning and development. Play-based learning involves engaging children in activities that stimulate their imagination, enhance problem-solving skills, and foster social interaction within a guided environment.
Play Sense’s curriculum supports children’s growth in every aspect—cognitive, physical, social, and emotional. Through guided play, children develop essential soft skills like self-regulation, socialization, executive function, and creativity. The curriculum is developed by expert occupational therapists to ensure it meets the highest standards of early childhood development. These activities support motor skills, sensory development, and overall well-being.
The curriculum is also grounded in research and designed by early childhood education experts. Studies show play-based learning enhances problem-solving, social skills, and emotional regulation. The company’s curriculum is comprehensive yet easy to implement, with detailed lesson plans and resources accessible through an online portal. It includes extension ideas and book recommendations for each theme.
For too long play- and preschools have operated to suit the childcare needs of decades ago. Play Sense has taken away the expensive infrastructure, the poorly paid teachers and the large number of children in the care of too few adults found in traditional play schools to reimagine a place that’s best for your child’s learning and development.
Play Sense was co-founded by Meg Faure. Meg is an OT & the author of the Sense Series, including the best selling Baby Sense and Weaning Sense books.

Play Sense believes that learning should be done in small groups, led by a nurturing teacher and it should be done through play – when little minds are open to exploring and mastering new skills and concepts. Play Sense combines all of these factors to provide leading early education that truly prepares little ones for the world they live in.
