As your child nears school age, engaging in educational activities is a great way to prepare them. At ABC East Child Development Center, a childcare provider located East Greeley, we offer expert-rated school readiness activities.

Arts and crafts help develop your child\u2019s motor skills and cognitive function. Additionally, help build the seeds for a creative mind, which will be important as they age.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storytelling and Reading&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s digital age, where technology has become more abundant and necessary for daily activities, having your child appreciate the written word is more essential than ever. Reading to your children will go a long way in helping them develop their creativity and language skills, which will be essential for them when they begin their school journey.&nbsp;Remember to point to the words and pictures on the page, as you read to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outdoor Adventures and Nature Walks&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaching children the value of physical activity early on is crucial. Exploring nature and wildlife in the great outdoors offers a fun and engaging way to stay active. Spending time outside not only promotes physical health but also provides an opportunity to teach kindness to plants and wildlife. This fosters excitement about discovery and encourages children to continue exploring and learning about the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start a Garden&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of exploration, children have a natural tendency to explore the world around them. One of the best ways to teach them about growth and nurturing is by starting a garden in your backyard. This is a great way to bond with your child and explain to them that plants grow and need nutrients just like they do. Spend time reading about the plants they are growing and compare how alike we are to nature. We all need nutrients, sun and water to grow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ABC East Child Development Center&nbsp;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving children a caring and nurturing environment is essential to allowing them to grow up happy and healthy.
