Character Counts Program

CHILD SENSORY SCIENCE

This winning center, allows the child to feel, smell, touch, hear, and sometimes taste the medium that teaches the concept. Measuring, pouring, discovering physical properties, and volume are all aspects of this center. This small, hands-on area enforces the social concepts of cooperative play! Math, science, and motor development are all added benefits of learning in this sand, water, oatmeal, and shaving cream environment.

LEARNING BLOCKS

Learning in blocks helps children learn math concepts like proportion – two triangles make a square. Learning in blocks also assists children in forming ideas about cause and effect, gravity, and problem solving. Children learn quickly that in order for a tower to “reach for the sky” it needs a large base. The block area is also a great place for children to socialize and work together while developing motor skills. Using their imagination and fellow-builders, children can turn this area into an airport, castle, or even their own neighborhood!

DRAMATIC PLAY

In this popular area, children make great headway in areas of language, social, and emotional development. Dramatic and Imaginative play in this area allows children to take on and explore new roles and to associate between real and the imagined. Learning to function in a group, take turns, and play cooperatively are outcomes for children who master this center.

kids 4

MATH & MANIPULATIVE

The Math and Manipulative center is designed to build fine motor control, spatial awareness, eye-hand coordination, problem solving skills, and social interaction. Typically set up with tables, children work together in small groups or singularly with puzzles that challenge, Legos® that create, lacing cards that teach, and anything else that requires the children to think while using their fingers!

CREATIVE ARTS

While playing in this area, children learn the concepts of form, shape, line, and color during the hours of after school care. They also gain increased muscle control. One of the benefits of this center is the fact that when they create something here, it is lasting, not like a block tower or finished puzzle. Children need to have their accomplishments and creations become tangible so that they have that “I did it!” feeling validated. Creative arts programs do this. Building self-esteem, one piece of artwork at a time, is what this center is all about.
