Trained in Child Development from the US, Farezeh Durrani is an early childhood specialist with over 35 years of experience in the field of education working with young children, educators, and parents. She has formally advised mainstream and special education providers across Pakistan, trained teachers and administrators, set up new schools, and has now launched her own Early Learning Center in Lahore. She has been a passionate advocate of developmentally appropriate practices to promote children's optimal development and learning.
"Teaching is a creative process, whilst children are a science. As adults it's our responsibility to ensure we equip ourselves with the understanding and the skills we need to know how young children think and learn best. PlayWrite is an opportunity for me to share my years of experience and knowledge with parents and educators to prepare and empower children to succeed as people, not just students. I'm excited to be a part of these precious and formative years of your child's life."

At PlayWrite we use The Creative Curriculum®, a research-based, whole child-focused approach to project-based learning. It’s a content-rich, hands-on curriculum that supports children in developmentally appropriate ways to become active learners, who are creative, confident and armed with lifelong critical thinking skills.
The Creative Curriculum® promotes learning through studies. Studies span several weeks and are in-depth, hands-on investigations of topics that are relevant to children’s’ everyday lives. Throughout each study, children raise questions about the topic and find answers to their questions by exploring, experimenting, and investigating first hand, through activities that take place in both, our indoor and outdoor classrooms. These investigations allow children to meaningfully build upon and apply skills in all critical areas of development and learning, including math, literacy, science, and so much more.

Young children's social-emotional competence involves learning how to understand their own and others' feelings, regulate and express their emotions appropriately, build positive relationships with others and behave pro-socially in groups. These crucial skills have been found to predict successful school transition, early school success and even later accomplishments in the workplace. At PlayWrite, we strengthen social-emotional competence by using strategies that support and challenge children's abilities to:
- Promote problem solving and appropriate risk taking.
- Encourage children to see tasks through to completion.
- Help children express their feelings and resolve conflicts in constructive ways.
- Use positive strategies to guide children's behavior.
- Support children as they interact with each other.
