Dramatic Play

Painting!

Painting and printmaking create wonderful opportunities for infants to learn while they express themselves creatively. They enhance their tactile and sensory skills, experiment with cause and effect, and work on their palmar and pincer grasp, eye-hand coordination, and two hands working together in mid line.

Sign Language

In the Under 2 program, we practice sign language in our everyday interactions. The teachers use sign language to communicate with the children and vice versa. Sign language empowers the children with one another and provides ways to express their feelings, wants and needs.

Please click on “Sign Language” to see examples of children in our classroom signing the words “more”, “please”, and “thank you”.
