Our Little Snowdrops’ (19 – 36 months old) development will be stimulated in exciting and fun ways. At this age, children are developing their gross and fine motor skills, beginning to use language, and learning through sensory experiences and play. Here are some engaging activities that our Little Snowdrops will be engaging in:

Fine Motor Skills:
• Playdough exploration with safe tools.
• Large bead stringing (with supervision).
• Finger painting.
• Stacking blocks or cups.
• Simple puzzles with large pieces.
Language Development:
