A large carpeted area allows room for play with large and small wooden blocks, floor trains, small construction materials, dramatic play, puppets, and a play kitchen. There are also sand tables, floor and table puzzles, engaging educational toys and games, and a quiet book area. The Music & Movement classroom provides an enriching musical experience with opportunities for piano sing-alongs and instrumental play.
