Play 2 Learn Preschool

preschool learning I am a part time stay at home mom with a 3 year old. I use a monthly themed cirriculum to teach concepts and develop skills through each area.

Using my experience as a teacher I set up a large play area in our home that I have broken into 9 early development "centers". Each is designed to target an area of early childhood development with specific activities and equipment. Art, Math, Science, Literacy, Manipulatives (fine motor), Dramatic/Pretend Play, Sensory, Calendar/Group Time and Outside (gross motor) Area.
