This excellent article from Dr. Sushma Mehrotra explains what a play school is and how they operate.
To quote her - "At this stage, children learn best by observation. At home, this kind of learning is not at an optimum level. In a play school the supervisors focus on teaching children the age-appropriate behaviours through observation and imitation"
She goes on to say -
"A child's language skills develop faster as they interact with many children of their own age and a little older".
The experience of a mother can be summarized as -
"I think play school definitely helped my daughter. She became used to the idea of being away from home for a couple of hours a day. She became more talkative and started interacting much more. Initially, when I used to play nursery rhymes for her she would ask me to switch it off. She preferred Hindi film music. Now, she enjoys listening to cassettes of nursery rhymes because they are familiar to her."
