3. Early childhood is a time that is
often viewed as a moment in
life where children are free to
just play.

4. While this is true, it is also
important to realize how critical
these early play experiences are
for a child’s development.

5. Children are naturally curious
about the world and love
engaging in new experiences
that offer them a new
perspective.

6. While it may look like a child is
just playing, they actually are
picking up valuable skills in
language, science and
mathematics that may not be
obvious to others at first
glance.

7. As your child enters these
amazing years full of wonder,
provide them with these
educational activities that
stimulate learning by tapping
into their interests.

9. Dress up may be cute to watch from
an adult’s perspective, but children
engaged in imaginative play truly
allow themselves to try on new
personas.

10. Helping to put out a fire in an
imaginary village or pretending to
serve food to their friends in a
restaurant promotes a sense of the
importance that each person has in a
community.

11. It also gives young children a chance
to practice social skills such as asking
for help or ordering food in a
restaurant.

12. And, as they talk to each other, their
language and vocabulary skills also
rapidly improve.

14. Children are fascinated by science,
and real life experiences are critical
for creating an environment that
satisfies their curiosity.

15. For young children, planting a
seed and watching as it grows into
a fruit-producing plant is a lesson
about the cycle of life that they will
always remember.

16. Helping to water the plant or
feed an animal teaches
responsibility and the
importance of caring for the
environment.

17. Nature walks through the
wilderness also give kids the
chance to examine rocks, flowers
and other types of natural
elements as they develop their
skills in scientific exploration.

19. Finger paints and play dough are
staples of every early childhood
program, but the teachers do not
use these materials just to keep
the children busy.

20. These types of experiences
promote sensory awareness, which
is important for helping kids learn
how to express themselves and
make sense of the world around
them.

21. In addition to strengthening their
fine motor skills, using a brush to
swirl paint across paper gives
young children a positive
experience with self-expression.

23. Energetic preschoolers may look
like little wiggle worms as they
run around a room, but all that
activity is critical for their physical
development.

24. During these formative years,
participating in age-appropriate
exercise classes is perfect for
helping kids develop gross motor
skills while learning how to work
with others as a team.

25. Whether your child loves
tumbling with other tots or
learning how to climb on a rock
wall, testing their abilities at an
early age fosters the
development of self-confidence.

26. Looking in on a preschool class is
likely to make you look back with
fond memories of the days when
you spent your days playing with
clay.

27. Yet, it is easy to forget about how
important these types of
experiences were for your healthy
development.

28. Today, much is understood about
how much learning truly goes on
in the early childhood years and,
by filling your child’s day with a
wide range of educational
activities …

29. … you can nurture their interests
while providing them with the
experiences they need for healthy
development.

30. Let your kids experience preschool
learning fun at Maplewood
Summer Day Camp.

31. Experienced staff will keep
your child both safe and busy
with arts and crafts, games,
water sports, gymnastics
and more.
