Circle

we share ideas, plans and observations. Circle activities
are designed to stimulate youngsters thinking, enrich
their social skills and expand their attention span.

feelings. They help reinforce fine-motor skills and
concept development in areas such as color, shapes,
and size relationships.

life skills, improve social skills, increase self-esteem,
build vocabulary, and solve problems.

children's listening skills, creative expression, and
social skills. In music children can explore sound,
volume, tempo, and rhythm.

of different substances. These activities also promote
the development of other skills, such as math, science
and language.

number skills, balance, organization, cause and effect,

solving, and creativity are also promoted in block play.
