The playhouse

Every early years setting is a house of rooms: a carpet, a home corner, blocks, an art table, a garden, a place where technology lives. Choose your learners, walk through the rooms, and pick the moments that fit where they are and what they can do.

Seen as an adult

The playhouse turns “integrate technology” into ordinary continuous provision. Each room keeps the play first and adds a precise lens: who made it, what it can hear or see, where it lives, whose idea it was. If an idea isn’t worthwhile without the word “technology”, choose a different one.
