How ABCDino Academy nurtures early learning through joy, exploration, and hands-on experiences.

In a world full of screens and overstimulation, parents are asking one question more than ever: What type of early learning truly sets children up for success? Research continues to point to one answer—play-based preschool.

At ABCDino Academy, play isn’t something children do after learning. Play is learning. Through hands-on exploration, movement, imaginative scenarios, sensory work, and open-ended materials, children develop foundational skills that prepare them for future academic success.

The Science Behind Play

Play activates multiple parts of the brain at once—language, reasoning, creativity, emotional regulation, and fine/gross motor skills. Studies show that children in play-based programs have stronger:

• Problem-solving abilities

• Early literacy and math understanding

• Self-regulation

• Creativity

• Independence

• Social-emotional skills

These skills form the “learning core” that children build on for years.

How ABCDino Academy Embeds Learning Into Play

Our screen-free classrooms focus on:

• Puzzles, blocks, sorting + matching

• Sensory exploration (water, sand, nature materials)

• Dramatic play

• Art, music, and movement

• Outdoor play

• Practical-life activities

Children make connections naturally because they’re actively involved—touching, moving, speaking, choosing, experimenting.

Why Play Matters for Parents

You want your child to love learning—not be stressed by it. You want creativity, problem-solving, and joy. You want a place where your child can grow emotionally and academically.

Play delivers all of that and more.

At ABCDino Academy, we nurture stronger learners by honoring the way children are wired to grow—through play.
