All of the materials also teach left to right progression which is a valuable skill for reading. Our MATH materials are varied, including both store- bought dominoes and homemade number lines. We believe that children need to have many concrete experiences using hands-on materials. We believe that your child should be exposed to books as well as these other materials. Water play is not only a relaxing, soothing form of learning, but also a very practical one.
Children learn to pour and measure which are practical everyday exercises.
Children do easel painting, table painting, finger painting, and object painting. They design bulletin boards, make collages, and even create seed pictures. We try to expose the children to all types of arts and crafts, relating to our theme units. We take nature walks, grow plants, use magnifying glasses to look closely at materials, and care for pets in the classroom. A baby-sitter is paid to watch your child.
