A range of leisure time experiences constructed by children and supported by informed educators promote children’s dynamic, complex and holistic learning. Children actively construct their own understandings and contribute to others’ learning. They recognise their agency, capacity to initiate and lead learning, and their rights to participate in decisions that affect them, including their learning.
