My Project

The dramatic play center is the heart of a young childhood classroom. Children can foster so many skills while playing in the dramatic play center. Dramatic play encourages young students to work together and build critical sharing skills that will benefit them as they grow and enter higher grade levels.

Dramatic play centers encourage language development, sharing skills, creative thinking skills and imaginative play!.

Students are speaking to each other when they are playing and holding conversations describing what they are learning. Students who are engaged in parallel play that may be playing on their own can use their developing language skills to speak with a baby doll, or to themselves when playing dress up.

Imaginative play is so important at such a young age. Children are able to use different materials and pretend to be anything they want. Children are able to use creative thinking and come up with different stories in their mind and act them out! Children can collaborate with each other while playing and can learn so much for each other! Please consider donating to help my students continue to learn and grow in these crucial skills !
