Children learn through observation and repetition. In dramatic play, they are able to act out situations they've seen before to help reinforce concepts. Our educators are also able to help introduce new concepts to expand upon children's understanding of the world around them.
Starting with our Infant / Toddler classes, each of our classrooms have dramatic play centers where children can use their creativity and imagination to act out real life scenarios with costumes, props, and scenery.
From daily routines (like cooking, shopping, working, and cleaning) to the most ambitious careers and accomplishments (like a doctor treating a patient or an astronaut landing on the moon), engaging in dramatic play allows children unlimited developmental opportunities across all learning domains, such as:
language and literacy
math
science
social studies
fine motor
gross motor
social
social-emotional
cognitive
Through these play-based learning experiences, children are able to develop various skills, including:
communication
abstract thinking
problem solving
cooperation
empathy
