Outdoor play is not only fun for the children, but vital to their growth and development. They need opportunities to climb, jump, run, and hop. They can practice ball skills without the space restrictions of the classroom. All areas of development are enhanced in the outdoor environment. Changing seasons, life cycles, and weather patterns are just a few of the science lessons children are exposed to as they venture outdoors.
Social skills develop as they take turns and share equipment.
Breathing in fresh air, absorbing sunshine, and having the opportunity to run and shout without the restrictions of being indoors is a very healthy release. Our ventures are many and varied. We visit the fire station, the post office, and the hospital to learn about community helpers.
