Practical Life

Practical Life contains “everyday living” work such as sweeping, pouring, folding, washing dishes, preparing a snack and sewing. In the Practical life lessons, children are not only learning life skills, but are also working on fine motors skills, getting ready for the more advanced writing.

Our preprimary children are given the opportunity to develop important life skills which allow them greater freedom in the classroom; an opportunity to further develop their self-esteem; social skills; concentration and independence while also refining their fine motor skills.

Children have a natural desire to be independent and are excited to be given the time and respect, as well as the appropriate tools, to accomplish these tasks on their own.
