Preschoolers love to pretend! Whether 

they are playing house with a new 

baby, or being a teacher, the 

imagination of a child enables them to 

go on amazing adventures. This type of

play is fun for young children, and 

supports important development. 

Through creative play children learn 

communication and develop 

vocabulary. It is also a time for problem

solving and planning. Creative play is 

one of the keys to learning. The 

teachers at the Dove’s Nest encourage 

children to be creative and to express 

themselves through creative play.
