Learning through play: Strengthening learning through play in early childhood education programmes

This brief will help ECE stakeholders advocate for making play-based or playful learning a central aspect of expanding and strengthening the ECE sub-sector. Grounded in a systems perspective, the brief offers background knowledge and examples of strategies that could be adapted to multiple contexts. The goal is to share practical ideas on how to embed play and child-centred pedagogy in ECE expansion efforts to ensure the quality and appropriateness of these programmes.
