with an appropriate learning environment through use of interest
centers both indoors and outdoors. The teacher provides a safe organized
play area with interest centers. This encourages opportunities for
your child to choose their own activity from among a variety of
learning areas and projects made available, based on information

provided time to work with small and large groups. These interest
centers include areas and activities for the library, large and small

and equipment for climbing, balancing, building with blocks, puzzles,
books, music, arts and crafts material, pretend toys and clothing
for dramatic play, and sand and water toys. |

and to make their own choices. Students are asked open-ended questions,
and provided assistance in problem solving. The teacher reads stories
and nursery rhymes every day.To encourage language and literacy development
the teacher provides a print rich environment. Items are labeled and

words are used with pictures and drawings. The children are also
provided time for music and movement activities such as singing
and playing musical instruments. Teachers provide opportunities
for children to learn from each other as well as adults and promote
language skills by talking to the children through the day and listening
to the children as they respond to the teacher and each other.
