The Kindergarten Team at TWE values the importance of Dramatic Play
as a part of its Developmental Center time! This year, the team has
worked together to build eight Dramatic Play stations that will rotate amongst
the classrooms all year long. Some of the stations the students have to
look forward to are the farm, post office, bakery, construction, and veterinary
clinic. There are many benefits for adding Dramatic Play into the early
childhood classroom. The students are engaged in real life learning of
the world around them, as well as building personal social skills needed to
work cooperatively with their peers. They are also exposed to so much
new vocabulary and are able to build upon their developing language
skills. Dramatic Play also benefits students' cognitive growth as
they are involved in abstract thought when using their imagination to make this
new world in the corner of their classroom come to life.
