When children interact with loose parts, they enter a world of “what if” that promotes the type of thinking that leads to problem solving and theoretical reasoning. Loose parts enhance children’s ability to think imaginatively and see solutions, they bring a sense of adventure and excitement to children’s play.

Hi I’m Shann, a Preschool Teacher, mother of three and Creator of Learn As You Play. I have been working as a preschool teacher for 13 years with children ranging from 1- 5 years old. I believe that PLAY is a huge part of children’s learning and development. Children should be active and involved in their learning. Children learn best by doing. My goal is for children to develop a love for learning while having fun!
