Yes, we provide opportunities for both inside and outside fantasy play in our Early Childhood Development (ECD) program. Inside fantasy play may include dress-up, puppet shows, or imaginative play with toys and props. Outside fantasy play may involve playing in a pretend kitchen or house, building forts, or engaging in imaginative outdoor games.
Children have the opportunity for fantasy play during designated free play times throughout the day, as well as during structured play activities and group games. We believe that fantasy play is an important aspect of child development and encourage children to use their imaginations and creativity in both indoor and outdoor settings.
