My Project

We know that young students learn best through play. That is why we implement play based centers in all of our primary classrooms.

We work hard to curate open ended centers where students' imaginations can run wild.

These train sets will do just that. Building a wooden train set is like putting together a puzzle. Each piece has its place.

Students will use problem solving skills as they explore and create all of the different possible setups when building this track and social skills as they play with their peers.
