Some activities that they enjoy participating in are pretending in the Housekeeping Center, painting at the easel in the Art Center, building structures in the Block Center and using their fine motor skills with play dough. The children also attend Chapel once a month. They sing songs, listen and participate in Bible lessons, and prayer time.
