Learning Centers



Our classroom is filled with bright, primary colors and a variety of materials for your child to manipulate, explore, snuggle, play with, and share. The room is designed to encourage your child's natural curiosity and desire to learn about their world.
We have several Learning Centers in the classroom.
These defined areas allow children to play and explore materials either individually or in small groups.

Library: In the Library children explore the world of books and feel safe and secure as they are introduced to reading. Brightly illustrated children's books are displayed on low shelves.

Blocks/Lego: Legos and Wooden Blocks of different shapes, sizes, small cars and an assortment of "little people" to encourage children to build replicas of their world, or creations of their imaginations as they practice symbolic representation. They are developing an understanding of the relationships between size and shape, and the basic math concepts of geometry and numbers.

Dramatic Play: Children experiment with different roles as they explore the familiar and the unknown through pretend play. This area is filled with props and dress-up clothes to encourage imagination through play. One day it might be a kitchen; the next day it might be a post office, restaurant, or bus. Children learn to work with other children and to share.

Discovery Sink: Children are able to explore the Seasons and Monthly Themes in what was once a Kitchen Sink…
  • Winter the sink is filled with polyester craft batting
  • In the Spring Green Easter grass
  • The Summer is sand
  • In the Fall we have straw
