Their programs are child-directed, emphasizing active, self-paced, individualized learning.Teachers observe and track their progress, and facilitate their use of materials. Through this approach, it’s thought that children become more confident, independent, self-regulated and self-disciplined whereas playways are based on the belief that kids learn best through play.
