The Doctor is in!

This week at Playschool, our children became doctors, nurses, hygienists, receptionists, parents and patients. The classroom setting supported a reception desk, waiting room, exam rooms for medical, dental and veterinarian doctors.

Reception for Dentist, Doctor and Veterinarian

Through the use of our “props” in the classroom our preschoolers recreate their experiences and knowledge about doctors. For many children they can re-experience situations, learn from others and share what they know and have experienced.

Dramatic play contributes to the development of the whole child. Its value in language, emergent literacy, social interaction, emotional well being, mathematical skills and creativity is remarkable and just plain fun. Playschool loves dramatic play!
