At A Brighter Rainbow Learning Center in Billerica, MA, we know the importance of nurturing a child’s curiosity, especially early on. Allowing children to explore and play outside is a great way to improve their critical thinking skills and foster a love of learning.

For preschool children, outdoor play is a good way for them to improve their social skills. Whether they’re working together on a team or just pushing each other on the swing, playing outside will help your child get used to problem solving and working together with their peers. Developing these social skills early on will help set your child up for success down the road.

Certain games children play outside, like Simon Says or Red Rover, have rules and guidelines and will help develop their cognitive skills. Allowing children to fantasize about certain aspects of life is also important for development, such as playing house or doctor. These games allow children to mimic the basic structures they see in society, expanding their knowledge and building cognitive development.

Now more than ever children are spending time inside behind the computer or TV, rather than playing outdoors for exercise. Getting them outdoors at an early age will help reinforce the importance of playing outside. Exploring and learning on their own is essential for childhood development.
