This document explores the various learning experiences that children encounter in nursery settings. It highlights how play activities, such as using toys, engaging in physical activities, and participating in group interactions, contribute to their personal, social, and emotional development (PSED). From forming friendships to developing communication skills, children learn to express themselves and interact with peers. Additionally, the document illustrates how activities promote physical and cognitive skills, nurturing each child's unique way of understanding the world around them.
