POD A: Pretend Childcare




















In the pretend area the children have the choice of playing with babies.  Materials to use for the babies were added including cans of baby food, beds, blankets, lots of clothes, and highchairs.  In the Walnut classroom, the story for the day was called "Everywhere Babies" and talked about what babies do and how they grow.  Many of the children have been interested in caring for babies and were acting out what they heard in the story.  Some of the care taking I saw included feeding the babies, putting the babies to sleep, rocking the babies, and some of the children were using the hospital supplies to help their sick baby.  The children were also using their social skills while taking care of their babies by working together to feed the babies and some of them were even forming families with a mom, a dad, and a baby.
