As babies, toddlers and young children explore the world around them, they often display patterns of repeated behaviour as they play and investigate how things work.
Known as schematic play, these repetitive actions allow children to establish meaning in what they are doing as they play and learn.

As childcare providers we can use schemas in our planning to support children’s learning and development…
Download our All About Schema Sheets to learn more about what schemas are, the main types of schemas and what activities you can offer to support children who follow them.
