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.

On the playground is where we spend most of our days...
We've been thoroughly enjoying the fresh air and warm sunshine lately! Our outdoor time has been fantastic for us to learn new things, play together, and burn off some energy throughout the day.
