children has been observed, from 65,650 enrolled in 2013 to 78,555 in 2014. It has been contended that high quality childcare would give children advancement in cognitive development (NICHD 2006). However, a parent remaining home before the school years ensures normal development of their child in those aspects.

explain how play is relevant with the child’s degree of maturational development and explain how the child’s physical, intellectual, linguistic, emotional and social developments are inter-related through play. I will describe how this maturational development is connected to the child’s ability to engage in increasingly complex and social play. First of all, “what is play?” First of all being a universal feature of human life, it is difficult to define. Wardle defines play as a freely chosen

The nature and nurture debate has been greatest debate in psychology over the centuries. Biologists will support the nature side of the debate while the environmentalist/behaviourists will support the nurture side of the debate. The two stages of development of an individual that will be discussed in this spread are adults and children. At the very beginning of development, infants are believed to inherit the capacity to learn how to walk, learn a language(s) and mimic behaviour. From a nature

Infancy is the key stage, when a baby’s brain is wide open to new experiences that will influence all the rest of its later life. The infant is a vibrant and seemingly unlimited source of energy. Babies thus represent the inner dynamo of humanity, ever fuelling the fires of the human life cycle with new channels of psychic power (Armstrong, 2008). Infants apparently come into the world pre-programmed to like and seek pleasurable sensations such as sweetness, and to avoid or escape from unpleasant
