DISCOVERING PLAY

Play is learning. Play allows a child to use their senses, practice language skills, & feelings. They learn about themselves and things around them. They learn to follow simple directions and play with others.
Did you know that blocks are considered the perfect toy and have nine developmental stages? All play stimulates your child’s imagination and enhances social, language, motor, and intellectual skills. Play is the way a child learns, it allows the child to make choices, have self-expression, develop his self-image, & allows expression of emotions.
Come Play with us.
