GROW with Pretty Palms Educare Centre

We celebrated International “It Started With a Stick” Day and what an incredible experience it was!
Through simple stick play, our little learners explored creativity, problem-solving, imagination, fine motor development, and teamwork. Sticks became magic wands, building tools, counting aids, and so much more, proving that the simplest natural resources can inspire the richest learning.
Sometimes, the best play starts with the simplest things.

Sensory experiences are important in early childhood development as
children learn best when they can see it, touch it, hear it, smell it, and experience it for themselves."

Rounding off our Theme on Emotions with a delicious Lifeskills activity.

Tower-building with blocks develops thinking, problem-solving, coordination, creativity, and social-emotional resilience—all through play.
