Latch Boards
We try to provide the children in our care with a lot of hands on activities. In the picture picture above you can view some of the latch boards that we offer the children to use. We have placed them onto the walls at different heights for the children to play with. Latch boards are ideal as the children can not loose the pieces that go with them, as all the pieces are attached to the latch boards.
We offer different types of toys that are attached to the walls for both the toddlers and the preschoolers. Some of the boards on the walls have farm animals and you need to slide them and the children will" match the babies animals to their mommies". The children match them up by sliding the pieces on the boards.

Manipulative's
The children are playing with button type pegs that are pushed into holes in thick cloth shapes. They can connect the holes in two or three of these cloth shapes together with the buttons or just place a button into each hole in the thick cloth.
The button peg toy that the children are using above, is a Maninulative or "table toy" and they are a great daily activity for the children. We have a variety of table toys such as; puzzles, variety of peg boards, latch boards, fruit and vegetables that the children cut, that are held together with velcro, plus other table toys, not mentioned above.

Playing Store
In the picture above you can view the girls playing store. Dramatic play helps the children to learn to pretend and to learn how to cooperate with their freinds. Dramatic play is great for children it will help them learn how to pretend to be a cashier, a cook, a doctor, even an astronaut, or whatever their imagination comes up with, all you need to do is provide a few props for them to use, and then just sit back and watch the fun begin.

Circle
Time
Calendar
We start our morning program with circle time. During circle time we discuss with the children the weather outside, what day it is, and go over that day's theme. We start with the weather chart and then move onto the calendar. After the children place the date on the calendar, we sing the 7 days of the week song and then we start our morning circle time activity.
