The spacious play environment features many open-ended toys, objects to manipulate and investigate and a routine which includes parent and child cooperative games, art, singing, puppetry and a nutritious snack. Through this educational and recreational play, the Discovery Garden supports our Make the First Five Count initiative, which focuses on early childhood development so that your child is prepared for kindergarten and ready to learn alongside their peers.
At Easterseals, we know the first five years of a child's life lay the foundation for their long-term well-being and overall success. We know that during the first five years of life a child's brain develops connections that serve as the basis for language, reasoning, problem solving, social skills, and emotional health. Because children learn and grow at different rates, even the most attentive parents can miss important milestones.
Our Discovery Garden Playgroup is designed to give families the support they need in raising a healthy and happy child, and we know that play is a vital aspect of your child's development. Whether it's with blocks, books, a sensory table activity, dress-up or weekly art project, Easterseals' Discovery Garden encourages lifelong learning while building strong family relationships.
