PURPOSEFUL PLAY AND GUIDED LEARNING
During our 2 ½ hour session, we play ALOT, because children LEARN through purposeful play. Every toy in our classroom is research-based and teaches a skill:
- We cut things with scissors, we sing songs, we jump, spin, hop, and dance together.
- We talk about and write letters, we read and write our names,
- We pretend to do grown up things like house, doctors office, or an auto garage.
- We build with blocks and playdoh.
- We count to twenty. We learn our shapes.
- We sort things, share things, and look for patt
- We explore art by painting on the easel or rolling marbles through paint.
- We talk about our families, pets, and read lots of books.
