Dramatic Play Center- The dramatic play center gives children the ability to act out situation,

pretend, and dress up while they play and learn. This center changes each month to reflect the
monthly themes. The whole dramatic play center transforms into different places that go along with
the theme, for example during the Zoo-tastic theme the center turns into a zoo where the children can
be zookeepers to take care of the animals.
