Activities
Children learn through socialization and play; because of this, we do not underestimate its importance on a growing child’s mind, body and spirit. Therefore, the children at Sweet Pea Childcare will receive both free-play and structured-play throughout each day. During structured play, we have only one group of toys or activity out at a time in order for children to concentrate fully on the activity. Age appropriate activities will be scheduled with flexibility to respond to the needs of each individual child and their ages. Some examples of the activities that children will participate in:
Indoor
· Books and story time
· Legos
· Circle-time
· Yoga
· Music and dancing
· Dress up
· Cooking
· Puppets
· Arts and crafts
· Puzzles
· Balls
· Games
· Bean bag toss
· Blocks
· Play dough
· Coloring
· Painting
· Science
· Board games
Outdoor Games
· Bubbles
· Balls
· Jump rope
· Water balloons
· Catch
· Follow the leader
· Water table
· Painting
· Neighborhood walks
· Exploring nature/weather
· Racing
· Sprinkler/Wading Pool
We have a fenced-in play area for our children to enjoy when weather permits. We encourage outdoor play time every day unless inclement weather prevents it. Please make sure to send the proper clothing for the season with your child everyday. We make sure that children are dressed appropriately before going outside. Water play with sprinklers and/or wading pool may be included. We encourage parents to send their children wearing comfortable play clothes as they may become dirty/stained. We will change the children into clean and dry clothing if an additional outfit is provided.
*Outings: We may occasionally walk to a neighborhood activity. For example, the library is very close to our daycare home and we may attend a story time or go to check out books.
