My Project

The proposed project aims to provide children with a comprehensive Dramatic Play Construction Set, comprising a workbench and dress-up costumes, to facilitate early career exploration, enhance communication development, and foster social skills and relationships with peers.

By engaging in imaginative play, children will develop a deeper understanding of the world around them while honing essential skills vital for future success.

Objectives of this project:

Early Career Exploration: The construction set will expose children to various professions, encouraging imaginative play and allowing them to explore different roles and responsibilities.

Communication Development: Engaging in dramatic play promotes language development as children articulate thoughts, negotiate roles, and engage in dialogue with peers.

Social Skills: Collaborative play scenarios encourage teamwork, conflict resolution, and empathy, nurturing essential social skills crucial for future interactions.
