Traditionally, play and learning have been seen as opposites—with the freedom of play on one hand and learning organized by adults on the other. However, at Dibber, we have identified that playful techniques can yield the best results when it comes to early years’ education and care service. As such, we lay great emphasis on structured learning through interactive fun methods to ensure all aspects of a child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development needs are met.
Dibber’s teaching is shaped by the Nordic curriculum which is considered among the most respected and progressive in the world, topping international rankings for literacy, mathematics, creativity and confidence.
For us at Dibber, learning is not about cognitive development and traditional transmission of knowledge, but also the ways children learn by using all their senses and their entire body. Through play, children interact and train their social skills; they experience empathy and self-worth. Play is a source of experience and competence that contribute to their learning and development in other areas.
We understand that a well-prepared playing environment is essential for quality learning. It must be an exciting and well-structured place that inspires curiosity and interaction. It should be organized so that children are inspired to play and explore. Through play, children develop, have new experiences and gain knowledge.
