Children at the preschool age are making developmental strides and express an interest in the world around them. They want to touch, taste, smell, hear, and test things for themselves.
They are eager to learn. They learn by experiencing and by doing. Preschoolers learn from their play. They are busy developing skills, using language, and struggling to gain inner control.
Preschoolers want to establish themselves as separate from their parents. They are more independent than toddlers. They can express their needs since they have greater command of language.
The PARROT ROOM is designed to provide multiple experiences for children to learn in a safe and caring environment.
