We are ready to blast off with our rocket theme in our A to Z Tot School series! If you’re just joining us be sure to check out how to get started with Tot School.
We’ve outlined a week of play and learning activities for you. These plans will cover a variety of skills for toddlers and preschoolers including language, cognitive, creative, math, science and sensory exploration. The play activities are more child-directed and the learning activities would be more appropriate for preschool-age children and require a little more planning and direction.
