The Power of Play
November 07, 2016
Each day our energetic preschoolers enter the classroom door ready to learn! Accordingly, these students are given many opportunities to see, hear, touch, and connect with their surroundings. It is through these sensory experiences that preschoolers master the basics of learning readiness.
No child will reach his or her full potential if creativity is not allowed in the early years. Curiosity, imagination, and creativity are like muscles—if you don’t use them, you lose them! The majority of our preschool schedule is devoted to exploratory play. Play is a preschooler’s “work.” When these young children master skills and abilities through play, they not only develop confidence and a positive disposition toward learning, but they also exhibit more innovation, greater empathy and cooperation, better problem-solving strategies, and longer attention spans.
Anyone is encouraged to visit our preschool classroom anytime to experience a day in the life of a preschooler. It is sure to be an eventful and insightful experience. Also, if you have a hobby or talent that you would like to share with the preschoolers, please contact Mrs. Othmer. It would be a pleasure having you in our classroom.
