St. Patty's Babies!

Our babies did not miss out on our St. Patrick's celebrations! They caught leprechauns, dressed in their finest green attire, and had a photo shoot! As you can tell from their smiles, lots of fun takes place at our sweet little school. 


What you see here and below is much more than just a photo shoot. Infant dress up and dramatic play fosters language development. Green was definitely our word of the day! 


Infant dress up and dramatic play also builds reciprocal expressive skills as the caregiver smiles and responds to the infant's actions. Check out Kayden's smile!


This photo shoot also builds attachment to caregiver. 
The caregiver smiles, hugs and sings to each child throughout the process eliciting a feeling of being safe and loved. 




And did we mention the gross motor development that occurs during an activity like this? 
"Clap Harlan, clap!"
Clapping while sitting up requires a lot of focus and muscle strength. 
What a fun way to meet our milestones! 
Thank you Ms. Amber and Ms. Anissa!
