How Play-Based Learning Helps Children Build Friendships
Ever wonder how your child learns to make friends? It starts with simple social interactions! From giggles during group play to the first “best friend” moment, social connections in early childhood shape the way children interact with the world. At Aussie Kindies, we know that friendships, teamwork, and social confidence don’t just happen—they grow in a nurturing and engaging environment.
Social development is a key pillar of early childhood learning and plays a huge role in a child’s emotional and academic success. Our Play-Based Learning approach, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, ensures that every child at Aussie Kindies has the opportunity to develop the social skills they need to thrive.
How Childcare and Play-Based Learning Builds Emotional Confidence
The early years of life are full of discovery, growth, and emotional learning.

It’s what helps children recognise, express, and manage their feelings while building resilience and forming relationships. At Aussie Kindies Early Learning, we know that emotional confidence isn’t something that happens by chance – it’s nurtured through a supportive environment, meaningful experiences, and intentional teaching. Our childcare centres are designed to provide children with opportunities to develop these critical skills through play, exploration, and connection, preparing them for a lifetime of success.
