My Project

When I grow up, I want to be a zookeeper, marine biologist, or work in a zoo. New centers in preschool are so important. Every month, we try to add or change our centers to keep curiosity and imagination play active for our 3 to 5 year old integrated classroom. Dramatic play experiences are some of the first ways children learn about their likes and dislikes, their interests and abilities!

They experiment with role playing and work to make sense out of what they've observed and processed.

Our school is the perfect place for our students to feel safe and experiment with dramatic play, to enjoy and to have fun while trying out new centers.
