    2.Creative expression- This addresses children's interests in the arts and their desire and ability to express themselves creatively.

    6.Social and Emotional development-Has to do with children's ability to express and regulate their feelings and develop relationships with others.

    Children learn through play,itis the "work" of children. They learn and grow from everything they see, touch or hear, and the best part of all is they are having fun doing it! It is our job to set up our environment to make the most of that.
