Dramatic Play and Development

The dramatic play area is a popular place at our centers. Not only do the children have fun creating stories and role-playing different characters, they also develop many important skills while engaging in dramatic play including:

• Social/Emotional: cooperation, negotiation
• Physical: small muscle skills
• Cognitive: imagination
• Language: explanation, asking questions
