This week we are featuring our Preschool 2 classroom! This week our little learners explored the importance of Personal Hygiene through hands-on, play-based learning experiences!
The children discovered how germs spread and how healthy habits help keep our bodies strong. They created imaginative germ crafts using playdough, yarn, pom-poms, googly eyes, and paper, strengthening their creativity and fine motor skills. They practiced healthy hygiene routines by learning to cover their mouths and noses when coughing and sneezing, explored proper handwashing through sensory play and a fun glitter science experiment, and practiced trimming paper fingernails using child-safe scissors.
Our dramatic play area transformed into Sick Sally and the Little Cobblestone Dentist Office, where children enjoyed caring for patients, exploring dental tools, and learning about the importance of brushing their teeth and visiting the dentist. These meaningful experiences encouraged empathy, communication, problem-solving, and self-help skills while helping children build confidence in everyday hygiene routines.
Through art, science, sensory exploration, and pretend play, our preschoolers learned that simple healthy habits can help keep themselves, their friends, and their community safe. We are so proud of their curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm for learning!
