Practical Life

Practical Life is an area in which our Under 3 children learn real-life tasks such as scooping, pouring, sweeping, mopping, cooking and taking care of the self and environment. These activities allow the child to develop motor control, self-confidence, thinking outside the self, empathy for others and a feeling of being productive and belonging to the community.
