New weekly program!
Beginning Monday, January 6th at 10:30, we will have a new program focused on play.
We will read playful books, do fingerplays, play with action songs and children will end with free play in the Preschool Playroom.
Parents will create a toy or game to take home and extend the play throughout the week.
Importance of play:
Play is one of the primary ways young children learn about how the world works and learn language.
Play helps children practice putting their thoughts into words.
Play helps children think symbolically — that this item stands for this thing ("This box is a rocket ship!"), which helps them understand that words can stand for real objects or experiences.
Play is how children practice becoming adults and process what they see and hear everyday.
