Free Play time offers a variety of choices, both indoor and outdoor regardless of weather. Teachers set up specific activities that offer opportunities in all the different areas of development and learning. However, the children are in charge of their learning experience by making their own choices about what to play with! Inside activites may include cooking, dramatic play, blocks, puzzles, books, art, dance parties, and more! Outside reflect this similarly, but also offers many chances to interact with nature, messy sensory play, large motor play, and of course...our Tree House!
