Christine Hinton-Hawthorne Preschool – Classroom Equipment
“…Starting the new preschool has been both fun and challenging at the same time. I choose several items for the dramatic play area.They love the simplest things. Playdoh is a very popular item. …I am setting out time each day to introduce a game and teach them how to play. I also purchased a set of art smocks because we like to get messy while being creative.”
