Benefits of structured play
Discovery Village is more than just a soft play center. Play sessions are meticulously designed to go beyond mere entertainment—they inspire children to learn through hands-on experiences. Imagination takes center stage in everything we do. Structured play holds a special place in children’s hearts, whether it’s engaging in board games, creating art and crafts, or hosting a pretend tea party with teddy friends. At Discovery Village, fun through learning becomes a way of life.
Structured play becomes even more enjoyable when shared with others. As your child engages in role-play activities, they enhance personal and social skills by learning from others and gaining a deeper understanding of different perspectives. Witness the joy as they collaborate, share toys, and work together to achieve common goals, fostering valuable lessons through play.
By participating in one of our role-play sessions alongside other curious children, your child not only explores their imaginative side but also nurtures essential social skills through shared thinking. Structured play serves as a valuable platform for children to learn from their peers, contributing to enhanced confidence, as well as improved social and communication skills. Guided by our dedicated entertainments team, our play sessions adhere to a set of rules. These rules not only instill a sense of responsibility and empowerment in children but also provide achievable targets. These offer opportunities for rewarding accomplishments.
