Welcome to the page all about centers!
Centers are an important part of Pre-K! Centers allow young children to learn in the most meaningful way, through hands-on play experiences, which is why they're such a vital part of a high-quality Pre-K classroom.
The three main benefits of center time are:
- Oral Language Development
- Self Regulation
- Social Skills
When children are invited to explore centers independently, discipline problems may be reduced because they are able to practice self-regulation. Student engagement increases when children are allowed to choose their centers and explore hands-on activities at each center.
