COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT 🧠

How many parents ask … What did you do / learn about today?

There may not always be a topic of discussion or one certain thing.. It may just be

“Child Development“

The truth is children learn through play, through interests and through opportunities we provide to develop skills 🍏

The Great Outdoors …❄️🌧☀️🍂🌳

Playing and learning outside encourages children to understand and respect nature, the environment and the interdependence of humans, animals, plants, and lifecycles. ... The outdoor environment offers space and therefore is particularly important to those children who learn best through active movement.

🍏👩‍👧‍👦🐛
