M.Y World recognizes the learning environment as the third teacher.

A purposefully designed learning environment is important as it provides opportunities for children to:

• Explore a wide range of concrete, sensory and authentic materials that encourage learning through play
• Foster relationships, communication and collaboration through meaningful activities
• Develop creative thinking, questioning and problem-solving skills

The use of learning centres is one way to cater for children with different developmental needs and abilities. As such, besides providing a space for large group activities, teachers design spaces for small group activities that engage children in self-directed pursuit of knowledge and acquisition skills.

Learning centre activities are open-ended to encourage exploration and experimentation. They also provide opportunities for practice, reinforcement, enrichment and review.
