Water Play

 Water play outside offers preschoolers a fun and engaging way to explore and learn through sensory experiences. Activities like splashing, pouring, and filling help develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and early science and math concepts such as volume and cause-and-effect. Playing with water also encourages social interaction, as children share tools, take turns, and collaborate in imaginative games. Whether using buckets, spray bottles, or water tables, outdoor water play supports creativity, physical development, and problem-solving in a playful and refreshing environment.

Let's Build It

Building with cups and sticks is a fun and hands-on activity that helps Pre-K children explore creativity, balance, and teamwork. As they stack cups and connect them with sticks, kids develop fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and an early understanding of basic engineering concepts. It’s a playful way to encourage imagination while learning through trial and error.
