Student Ratings & Reviews
A child learn through play so its important to play outside.
Loved this course
Very good ideas shared on how to implement play
excellent
The course was very interesting but the test questions was not like expected. I expected giving examples of the play and how it helps the child. Not the skills they use during that play. But it was the first test. I liked the course, helps me to think a bit differently on helping the children.
