Creative Art Area
Setting an art learning area serves as a creative outlet for children to help express their emotions and ideas. At this time children experience different textures and use different materials as they create their works of art. Fine motor skill development and improved hand-eye coordination are other ways an art learning area will benefit the children in your care.
Music and Movement Area
Including a music and movement area in your preschool classroom encourages children to be physically active and gives them opportunities to experiment with sound and music. A music and movement area can also promote self-expression, foster creativity, and help children relax. Movement props aid creative expression and offer additional fun activities for children in the learning area.
Literacy Area
A literacy area is a must-have in any kindergarten. Having a quiet area to practice their reading and writing skills will help children express their ideas, and explore individual interests in narrating stories. Show and tell becomes their favorite activity and an integral part of pedagogy and is essential for the child’s social, cultural, and educational development.
Motricity Area
From an early age, the concentration of the learner is solicited for the child’s intellectual, sensory, and bodily development. From a young age, children discover and identify their limits and become more independent in their motor skills. Doon Toddlers provides a safe and secure space for all physical activities which include objects like balls, rings, skittles, hoops, etc.
Dramatics and Role Play Area
Including a dramatic play, learning space will give children opportunities to role-play as adults in everyday situations and a variety of careers. Dramatic play encourages creativity, self-expression, and knowledge of the community. It is a good space to prepare children to participate in future drama and stage shows.
Soft Play Area

Playing in the soft play area has fundamental cognitive benefits. Soft play helps children develop their motor skills such as hand-eye coordination whilst in a safe environment to practice and develop their skills. The soft play environment will stimulate brain function and development and can help enhance children’s sensory processing abilities, which can improve their focus and attention.
