Little Deen Seekers
Children 0-4 years of age learn through play, their senses, and from their environment. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Every child is born in a state of fitrah (the natural state of man, i.e., Islam), then his parents make him into a Jew or a Christian or a Magian.” (Agreed upon).
From the above hadith we learn:
1. Children are born in a pure belief in monotheism.
2. Parent is the First Teacher; Your example teaches more than your words

The following are A’hadith that will help us better educate our children according to their way of absorbing knowledge. We can find the Islamic philosophy of teaching is also ingrained into the philosophy of Play and Learn and Montessori philosophies, which we can use to teach our young students.
“Play with your children for seven years, teach them for seven years, observe them for seven years and befriend them for seven years.”
