We are able to work on literacy skills, counting, social-emotional skills, as well as fine motor development without your child feeling as if they are being quizzed. It is a low pressure, high reward style of curriculum!

Whether playing solo or with peers, they are growing and learning!]]> 2023-10-02 21:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/meganjosephs/cc3z5ic3i7ymfy1b/wish/2729299075 meganjosephs https://padlet.com/meganjosephs/cc3z5ic3i7ymfy1b/wish/2729301043 Fine Motor skills refer to using small muscles. This may look like stacking blocks, buttoning up dress-up clothing, taking apart toys, and more!

Gross Motor skills refer to using large muscles. This may look like reaching for toys on shelves, playing with outside equipment such as swings, and carrying their toys to where they wish to play!]]> 2023-10-02 21:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/meganjosephs/cc3z5ic3i7ymfy1b/wish/2729301043 meganjosephs https://padlet.com/meganjosephs/cc3z5ic3i7ymfy1b/wish/2729302551 We see growth in Cognitive Development during play-based curriculum quite a bit!

This may look like requesting toys or help, engaging with peers, and answering questions about what they are playing with. They are talking about something they are interested in, and we can help them learn more language skills while they are engaged!]]> 2023-10-02 21:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/meganjosephs/cc3z5ic3i7ymfy1b/wish/2729303753 meganjosephs https://padlet.com/meganjosephs/cc3z5ic3i7ymfy1b/wish/2729305880 Play-Based Learning is highly effective and engaging children.
