                              The Playgroup children are involved in many hands-on experiences.  They learn by observing and doing, through play, art experiences, listening to stories, singing songs, participating in creative movement activities.  Separation and socialization are important goals in this class. Taking turns and sharing are encouraged with praise and positive reinforcement. 

                              The following areas are incorporated into the Playgroup program:
