When it comes to preschool, there are a few basic things that you expect every preschooler to learn: colors, numbers, how to count, the alphabet, how to write, these are just a few of the skills that might come to mind. But did you know that the best way to foster many of these skills is through PLAY? Play is the natural way preschool age students learn. Examination and discovery helps play to essentially become the work of a child from which they derive positive, educational growing experiences. My job is to structure a setting that will encourage play, while creating a place where cooperative social interactions and individual educational developments are introduced, practiced, and learned. Preschoolers who discover through play strengthen their proficiency in areas such as language and vocabulary, creativity, gross and fine motor skills, as well as, problem solving and mathematical concepts. Play in preschool promotes the development of strong language and vocabulary skills. Children learn a significant amount just by listening to instructions, stories, or typical conversations between others. With practice and participation, children begin to understand how language and vocabulary can facilitate communication, express feelings, and improve dialogues within a group. In order for me to do this a variety of activities are used to help foster language and literacy skills, through storytelling, large and small group instruction, music and songs, and center time play with letters and books across the areas. These materials would help fosters the center time instruction and mastery for literacy preschoolers need to be successful readers in kindergarten.
