- Circle time is a group gathering during which we share our ideas, plans, and observations. Circle activities are designed to stimulate our child’s thinking, enrich their social skills, and expand their attention spans.
- Gross-motor activities give children the opportunity to use their muscles - as well as their imaginations - as they engage in fun and healthy exercises such as running, jumping and climbing
- Fine-motor activities help improve small-muscle development and eye hand coordination. Some common items found in the fine-motor/manipulative area include puzzles, beads and laces, pegboards, crayons, and scissors.
- Art activities help children to creatively express their thoughts and feelings . They help reinforce fine-motor skills and concept development in areas such as colors, shapes, and size relationships.
- Dramatic-play activities help children express themselves, practice life skills, improve social skills, increase self-esteem, build vocabulary and solve problems.
- Sensory tables and activities allow children to experiment with textures and the properties of different substances. These activities also promote the development of other skills, such as math, science and language.
- Block play gives children experience with many different concepts, such as shape and size discrimination, spatial relationships, number skills, balance, organization, cause and effect, and classification. Cooperative play skills, problem solving and creativity are also promoted in block play.
- Storytime is designed to help children develop an appreciation and enjoyment of literature. Reading enhances children’s vocabulary and comprehension skills, and also expands their knowledge base.
