My Project

Celebrating the Week of the Young Child (WOYC) with themed dress-up days is an excellent strategy to engage children and foster a vibrant learning environment. To enhance participation and enjoyment, we would like to implement the following daily themes, each accompanied by corresponding props:​

Monday- magic show- clown nose

Tuesday -Pirate day- pirate hats

Wednesday- Wild Wild west- cowboy hats

To further enhance these dress-up days, we are having activities that align with each theme,. These experiences not only make the week enjoyable but also reinforce the developmental goals of WOYC.

We are also having Parent's Day which we will be making a painting activity with the canvas and stands.
