My Project

Pretend play helps enhance different areas of development in early childhood. It encourages the student to use their imagination and creativity. Moreover, it helps the students to problem solve and connect to the real world.

Early childhood is a critical window of development for learning social skills.

Our dramatic area is the most visited area in our classroom. Children at this age like to pretend to be a firefighter, a doctor, or a store worker. With the food and cash register requested, you will be able to support and enhance our young learner's imagination and their development.
