Abstract	This research explores the impact of play-based learning on the cognitive and emotional development of children aged 3-6 years. Through a mixed-method approach, the study examines how various forms of play—free play, guided play, and structured play—contribute to problem-solving, language acquisition, emotional regulation, and social interaction. The findings suggest that play-based learning significantly enhances children's cognitive abilities and emotional well-being, fostering creativity, resilience, and social skills that lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning
