During free play time, children play with age-appropriate toys, either alone or with others, and read/ look at books.
Learning activities include listening to music, playing educational computer games, using busy bags, playing games and learning letters, numbers, colors and shapes.
Exercise includes gross motor skills such as running, jumping, dancing, playing outdoors and climbing on age-appropriate outdoor play equipment.
TV is allowed on a daily basis but is limited to an hour or less total throughout the day. We only watch age-appropriate shows geared toward early learning or music, such as The Little People shows or Super Simple Songs. Once or twice a year we may have a Friday Pajama & Movie Day as a special treat, depending on the ages of children in care.
