Your Little Artist Preschool
As our story continues I draw to mind a deep gratitude to our staff who are committed to supporting children’s learning outside. Specifically I’d like to name Laurie, who spends time in active play with the children, uses our outdoor reading area and will often spend all of her 4 hour shift outside in any weather.
Our outdoor space has become a beloved space for children who create their own special stories through their play. Often these stories are told while children are using our play kitchen but they transfer this play throughout our outdoor space. As the years go on I am recognize how important this central place [outdoor kitchen] is for children’s evolving collaborative development. Children begin play here that never ends. It may stop for a period or at the end of the day but they pick it back up and adapt to the changing weather and their creative callings. I can’t imagine a deeper, more meaningful way to lay the foundation for a growing brain that through this type of on-going, collaborative play. I am looking forward to many more years of being a facilitator for these early childhood experiences.
