Children need to remain active throughout the day; promoting outdoor play allows them to get fresh air and explore their environment more. Mandy areas of development are practiced by playing outside —exploring, risk-taking, fine and gross motor development and the absorption of vast amounts of basic knowledge—can be most effectively learned through outdoor play. At Tiny Hoppers we are mandated to have outdoor play daily, here you see our toddlers enjoying the first snow of the season, they are re-learning how to walk in their big boots and snow suits, and learning how to manipulate items with their mittens on.
