Ø     There are separate rooms that focus on different areas of development that will provide language rich opportunities.  Research shows that language skills are enhanced when movement is incorporated  (vestibular activities, tactile stimulation, use of various manipulatives, etc.).

o      There is a sensory room specifically designed to stimulate  language skills through the use of visual tasks, vestibular activities and proprioceptive tasks. Children learn through sensory input and motor activity.  This room allows children to easily move around and explore materials.

o      There is an art room that will use manipulative activities to develop fine motor skills that are necessary for school readiness.
