In the pursuit of giving children every advantage, we can sometimes overlook one of the most important ingredients in healthy development: play. Not play as a reward once the “important” things are finished but play itself – the kind that encourages children to imagine, experiment, collaborate, make mistakes and try again. Families can enjoy imaginative play, creative workshops, music, cooking, movement and Purple Dragon’s signature adventures, while building friendships with other families in the neighbourhood. It’s the time, space and freedom to play in a community where they can grow with confidence, curiosity and joy.
