Play to learn

Research tells us children learn best through play. It’s only natural that children are more open to learning when they are happy, and more likely to remember a fun experience.

Child care providers are your partners in preparing your child for kindergarten and a future bright with opportunity.

Give your child the best start in life with quality childhood educators that use story, dramatic play and hands-on experience to lead children to learning.

Reach for the stars – visit our website to find star-rated quality early childhood educators.

ARBetterBeginnings.com • 1-501-682-8590 Click here to visit our Resource Library. You’ll find activities and tips to help you prepare your child for life. These activities are intended for children age 3 or older. Small objects can be choking hazards. Building Fine Motor Skills Learning to write requires fine motor skills. Tweezing On the right is the Feed the Frog game. It can be played by one or as a competition. The frogs can be made from any flip-top container cotton balls will work as well. Craft sticks are glued to clothes pins to be used as tongs. Toddlers squeeze the clothes pin to open the tongs that trap the frog food. These frogs aren’t picky. If you are fresh out of bugs, try cotton balls, cereal or lima beans (Yum!). Threading activities can be as through colander. Makes great hat if the colander is big enough! Leftover holiday ribbon taped punched fabric challenging and fun. Creating the Rainbow trees on activity. See Playdough Power taste-friendly mountains. Parental supervision (and participation) is advised. Scan the code below to visit our Family Resource Library for fun learning activities to enjoy at home. Also en Español.
