Important Facts About Playtime

Some people believe that playtime is simple. However, it can be quite complex from a sociological perspective. Below are some important things you need to know about playtime. 

Playtime Can Be A Great Stress Reliever

Did you know that even young children experience stress to some degree? Fortunately, playtime is an emotional outlet for children. It is a great stress reliever for them!

The Health Benefits of Playtime

Playtime usually involves some sort of physical activity. This is especially true if children are playing a sport or game. Children who are physically active will lead healthier lifestyles and thus reduce their risk of obesity. 

Children Learn New Things During Playtime

Some parents think nothing of child's play. However, it is very important to their growth and development. Children aren't just playing--they are learning about new skills, words and their own physical abilities. 

We believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning that is provided through play. Playing with other children will also help them develop social skills.  Are you looking for a superior nursery school on Long Island? Look no further than Miss Sue's Nursery School!

How To Keep Kids Physically Active In The Wintertime

It finally feels like winter here on Long Island. Now that the cold was swept in, your child may spend less and less time in the great outdoors. This could also make your child lead a more sedentary lifestyle. Below are some tips that will help your child stay physically active this season. 

Interactive Video Games

Traditional video games do not promote exercise. However, that is not the case today! Interactive video games can get your kids moving or grooving. Children can virtually play sports like tennis or baseball from the comfort of home. Other video games teach kids how to dance and bust a move!

Indoor Playgrounds

On a cold winter's day, going to a playground in your town is simply not an option. That's why there are indoor playgrounds. It gives your child the chance to run around, play, climb and explore. Do some research on indoor playgrounds in your area. The local mall might provide a small indoor obstacle course.

Indoor Sports

It is important to keep in mind that not all sports are played outdoors. There are plenty of sports that can be played inside. Try your hand at indoor roller skating! 

We hope that the tips above help your child stay physically active this season.
