FYI Corner
Spring is Coming!
Now is the time for Kansas weather to tease us, but we can just buck up and enjoy when it
comes. It is that time, warm one day and freezing the next. This goes on for longer than we
would like, but, the good part is the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the moment!
Stop at the park on the way home from childcare.

Stop n’ shoot hoops or kick the ball around.
Fly a kite (a lost art).
Go for a walk or stroller ride.
Capture the warm weather moment, turn loose the stored energy!

Module
Creative Curriculum for Preschool: Dramatic Play

Dramatic play is central to children’s learning and development. In this training, participants will explore ways of creating a
dramatic play area for children to learn and explore as they engage in dramatic play.
Creative Curriculum for Preschool: Block Play

Blocks appeal to young children because they feel good to the touch, are symmetrical, and invite open-ended explorations.
When children construct, create, and represent their experiences with blocks, they grow in all areas of development.
