Dramatic Play or "Pretend Play" is a wonderful learning tool for children.  It involves spontaneous and creative play where children can create their own story or scene.  Children love to "dress up" in costumes and pretend to be a variety of characters- a pirate, a princess, a mommy or daddy, a mermaid, a king or queen, etc.  This type of play is not only fun but is also an important part of child development.  Studies have shown that Dramatic Play enhances the development of physical, emotional, social, cognitive and language skills.  At Beary Best Academy we provide many opportunities for the children to enjoy Dramatic Play including role playing, puppetry, music and fantasy.

Our "Fantasy Island" Indoor Playpark gives the children the perfect opportunity to express their creativity and imagination.

We love celebrating birthdays at Beary Best Academy! Your child’s “Special Day” will start with the teacher letting the class know there is a birthday, and the class will sing “Happy Birthday”. In the Pre K and younger classes, the birthday child will have a special hand painted “birthday chair” for the birthday boy/girl to use all day.  Parents are welcome to bring a birthday cake, cookies, cupcakes or whatever is preferred to help with the celebration. (No peanut butter please!) The birthday child will be given birthday balloons and his/her birthday will also be acknowledged with their photo on our Birthday Board in the main hallway. Their special day is always fun for the children and something they look forward to.
