My Project

Dramatic play is an important factor in Early Childhood. Since my class is a new up running preschool class, I would love to be able to provide the students with an environment that they can thrive. By providing them with materials such as career dress up outfits, a cash register with play money, and dolls and furniture for a dollhouse, this helps to enhance a young child's social, emotional, and language development.

Providing my students with different opportunities to participate in dramatic play will allow them to be creative and imaginative.

They can make believe that they are anyone or anything they want to be. As a teacher listening to young children's vocabulary as they role play is always so amazing! Their role play just clarifies how much a child is paying attention to their surroundings.
