Joyful Noise Preschool
and Childcare
"Where, Joy and Learning go Hand in Hand"




    When children play with blocks they learn about sizes and shapes, spatial
    relationships, math concepts, and problem solving. When children lift, stack, and
    move blocks, they learn about weight and size. Each time they use blocks, they
    are making decisions about how to build a structure or solve a construction
    problem. As children experience the world around them, they form mental
    pictures of what they see. Playing with blocks gives them an opportunity to
    recreate these pictures in concrete form. The ability to create these
    representations of their experiences is an important skill necessary for
    abstract thinking. Blocks are also valuable play materials for physical
    development. For example, children use their large muscles to carry blocks from
    place to place. As they carefully place blocks together to form a bridge or an
    intricate design, they refine the small muscles in their hands, which are
    important for writing tasks. The block corner is a place for children to play
    together and share experiences. As children build together, they solve problems
    and learn the benefits of cooperation.
