Playgroup Information Are you curious about what we do during our playgroup time? Below are the areas of learning used during each group, which include different materials each week depending on the theme. Manipulative Play—This area lets your child explore how to use their fine motor skills to move, order, turn, or screw objects to create or “solve”. This could be Magnet Tiles, puzzles, or Widgets! Sensory Play—Sensory play is a way to stimulate the 5 senses, which has been shown to help your child learn and retain more information. Sensory play could include shaving cream, kinetic sand, or a listening station! Gross Motor—Our gross motor station is built to help your child gain confidence and strength in their body and it’s movements. Children can explore our crawling tunnel, build with large blocks, or use our hopscotch rug! Baby Rug—Babies need their own area to explore during our groups, so we dedicate a rug area where little ones can have tummy time and are encouraged through play to develop their motor skills. Themed Activity—Project ABC will also provide an activity for your little one to participate in that relates to the theme and book of the group. Themed activities typically include the use of fine motor skills, such as cutting with scissors, gluing, or any hand and finger movements! Circle Time—Circle Time is a chance for children to learn, and then to practice their listening, self-regulation and patience skills. Circle Time includes the themed book, stories and songs, and movement activities! Social & Emotional Learning—Project ABC is constantly looking to incorporate SEL into our groups through language and modeling techniques, in the hopes that your child will advance in their problem solving skills, social intelligence, and creativity.
