Free play time is integrated into our program to provide children with the opportunity to explore at their own pace following their own interests. Each child will be able to focus on the interest area most comfortable for them, and therefore, will achieve the most beneficial learning condition from the manipulatives in their environment. Free choice time also provides children with an opportunity for social interaction, deeply engaged imaginative play, and cooperative play. </B></div> <div> <B>Here at SMaRT Fun Learning Adventures the schedule and activities are planned and chosen based on developmental appropriateness, interests of the children, and relevancy to their experiences in the world. This will provide children with topics meaningful to their understanding capabilities while promoting cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
