Practical Life!

Children working on practical life activities.

Children like to imitate what they see around them, especially when it comes to caring for their environment. As they progress with their abilities, they engage in activities that help the community. The Under 2 Classroom provides cleaning materials for children to use to fulfill their need for exploration, movement, acquisition, repetition, and feeling that they can be part of the community. Here are some pictures of the children assisting with cleaning and caring for their environment. These opportunities allow children to improve concentration, attention to detail, refinement of movement, development in practical skills, and encourage active participation in their community. Thank you for taking such great care of our classroom.
