My Project

My 48 four and five year-old students come to school ready to play and learn. Usually in that order. As a play-based preschool, we rotate learning areas regularly and try to provide tools to spark imaginations and conversation while learning to get along.

A baking center, complete with a cash register, donuts and candies, will be the perfect addition to our community area.

Children can talk to each other as cashiers, coworkers, and customers. The props this project will provide will spark opportunities for growth in social skills, communication and imagination....all while providing an atmosphere of pure fun!
