How is my child learning while at Twice the Fun?

Our brochure states that Twice the Fun combines learning with gross motor fun. So how is your child learning while they are here? For young children their play is work. While interacting or playing with other children they are learning to negotiate, compromise and learn what's socially acceptable. Children use play as a tool to make sense of the world around them. While in our dramatic play area your child may be making dinner or caring for a babydoll. Much of their behavior during this play may closely mimic your own or your spouses. These play experiences help your child to understand their daily life and give them the control to act out and manipulate life situations. Toddlers also use a lot of cause and effect play to to gain developmental skills. Often they repeat the same action to gain skill mastery. For example in our infant/toddler play area you may find your toddler repeatedly rolling balls down the ramps. This cause and effect game teaches toddlers that their physical actions make things happen, or has an effect on other objects. These experiences later play into their social interections with other children. For example when I hit someone they cry or when I push someone they push me back. Offering children play experiences enriches their developmental skills and enhances their ability to gain the tools needed for life skills. Twice the Fun offers a safe, developmentally appropriate space for children to have these play experiences!
