Preschool education is education imparted to children in 3-6 years age group. It is the first stage of organised education. Preschool education is also known as pre-primary education. Pre school education is that which helps in a child’s emotional, social and personal growth and development. Pre school children during this age group are curious beings, discovering and investigating the world around them. They use their senses seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and touching to accomplish their tasks. Play is the tool for this work—the tool young children use to explore the mysteries of the physical and social worlds. In play, children learn collaboration and conflict resolution with friends as they investigate the properties of equipment, materials, and routines. Through the phenomenon of play, children develop and learn as they participate in activities in every area of the classroom. Play affords children the ability to improve their language, social, physical, math, science, and thinking skills. The development and enhancement of these skills promotes their self esteem. The objective of the present paper is to emphasize play as learning strategy for skill development in pre school children.
