Circle Time: Multiple Levels of Development
- Enroll Your Child in a Preschool in Chandler | (480) 584-4064
As we covered previously, there are several things that help you to know that you have found the best Chandler preschool. One of the many things is a simple activity: circle time. In addition to language skills, socialization, as well as recognizing important concepts such as color, quantity, and size, circle time helps your children to develop physically as well.
Physical development is an important part of the education your child would receive at our preschool in Chandler. Physical development in children can be separated into large/gross motor development and small/fine motor development. What's the difference?
Large motor development is usually the larger muscles of the body, such as legs and arms. During circle time, children move and develop, as well as learn to control their bodies. They also learn where their own physical space begins on a mat, carpet square, etc. and where it ends. They also begin to learn to respect each the space of others. Fine motor development refers to the muscles of the hands. During circle time at our Chandler preschool, passing an item around as well as things such as puzzles help children develop their small muscles. In addition to motor development, there is yet another skill that children learn during circle time.
Social Development and Circle Time
During circle time, children take turns discussing and learn the rules of conversation. Children learn problem solving during role play, or stories about solving problems with friends. Circle time also helps children to increase their attention span over time.
Socialization is an important skill. Studies have shown that children that do not develop social skills appropriate to their age group will struggle a lot more in other areas of life, such as work, school, or even interpersonal relationships. Yet one more reason to enroll your child in a Chandler preschool.
