Past projects include abstract line art paintings representing emotions, pepperoni pizza clay art for "Letter P" week, bird paintings for "Letter B" week, and bead jewelry to help remind student's of colors.
Imaginative, child-directed play with dedicated dramatic play area
Dramatic play is essential for positive emotional and social development.
Self-expression through dramatic play is fun and allows children to become more confident in their ability to express themselves. We have a forest-themed dramatic play area with gardening, fishing, cooking, and dining furniture. Kids can pretend to run a farm to table restaurant, go camping, or simply play home!
