Why Play is the Superpower Every Child Needs

At NEST, we believe play is not just a break from learning — it is learning.

When a child builds a tower with blocks, they’re learning problem-solving.
When they play “shopkeeper,” they’re learning math, communication, and cooperation.
When they pretend to be superheroes, they’re building confidence and imagination.

Research shows that play boosts brain development, strengthens social skills, and helps children cope with challenges.

So next time you see your child pretending to fly, pour an “imaginary” cup of tea, or dig for “treasure” in the sandpit, remember: they’re not just playing. They’re practicing life.
