Computer experiences help children to learn by stimulating their thinking processes. Age-appropriate computer software is available in every Head Start center. Every child will have the opportunity to spend time in the computer area on a regular basis. Different things can be added to the table so that children can have a variety of sensory experiences. These activities help with coordination and increase children's attention spans.
Children learn to be more creative as they participate in art activities.
Art activities help children build their self-confidence as they make decisions and express their feelings and ideas. Dramatic play helps children to have a better understanding of other people and to learn about their needs. Some of the things you will find in the block area are a variety of blocks, trucks, cars, animals, people figures, building sets, and more. Building with blocks gives the child a chance to think, to plan, and to solve problems while he moves freely and works with his hands. Block building helps the child to learn more about sizes and shapes.
