We’re having an autumnal refresh in our Preschool garden! 🍁💜🍂

To start with, we have had all the floor tiles taken up and re-laid, closing up some of the gaps that had appeared over time… More to come! ✨

These Little Storytellers did an amazing job being vets! 🐾🐈🩺🐕

A vet-themed role-play like this helps preschoolers build empathy, grow their vocabulary, and practice social skills with their peers! 🙌

🗣️ There are lots of new words to use and learn, or hear for the first time! “Bandage”, “medicine”, “stethoscope”. They can talk through what is wrong with the animal, building storytelling and listening skills with their peers.

Playing the role of the caregiver, can familiarise the little ones with the scenario, which can make real-life visits to the doctor, vet or dentist, less scary!

This is a lovely role-play for the children to practice showing kindness, gentleness, care and responsibility!

Well done Little Storytellers! 💜

Our new activity light-up board with chalk pens in The Little Dreamers room! ✍️💡🌈

This activity offers excellent developmental benefits for infants and toddlers! 🙌

The babies are still developing the motor skills needed to draw shapes, but in the meantime this activity provides highly stimulating sensory and physical experiences for them ✨

👁️ The high-contrast glowing lights grab attention from the little ones, and following marks and shapes on the surface, helps to practice tracking movements with their eyes

🧠 Cognitive development - cause and effect! The little ones quickly learn that pressing a pen against the board creates a glowing mark. They then build the confidence to add further marks as they choose.

✍️ Grabbing hold of a pen in any way they can, is a fantastic start to familiarising the small hand muscles with different grasps, and fine motor skill development!

Well done Little Dreamers! 💜
