THE PLAY SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
Play School aims to encourage the child to wonder, to think, to feel and to imagine, to extend his/her interest and encourages his/her participation.
The presenters address the child directly and personally. Into this relationship are woven the stories, songs and activities that form the fabric of Australian children's culture.
Each week has a theme which is developed in different ways depending on the day. Each program contains a story, some songs (both traditional and new) and a variety of play ideas with things to make and do.

PHILIP QUAST IN PLAY SCHOOL by Elaine H.
In Australia, hundreds of television sets tune in to the #1 Childrens' show, Play School. Not too long ago, Philip Quast was a Presenter on this show. For many years, he gained many fans not only among the tinies, but their parents as well. He calls the show, "...the love of my life..." and his devotion to it shows everytime he is seen in the wide variety of playful skits.
From 'Farmer Bob' to 'Little Speckled Frog', Philip's talent for comedy is evident, but it is his voice that captures ones' attention. From familiar Australian songs to lullabies, the sound of that beautiful voice stays with us. How lucky we are to have his talent and vocal abilities on CD and video, with all the wonderful Play School cast, to make children happy not only in Australia, but around the world.
