“Working Parents Day” is a fun Saturday morning at CHT Preschool when parents, who don’t usually have the opportunity to come and see the school, spend a few hours working and playing with their children. Typically, in our school community, this tends to be mostly dads, who gravitate toward blocks and Legos. This year, however, our class ended up having only dads. We noticed that most of them gravitated toward PAINTING.
Some dads collaborated on a single painting with their child, while others painted side by side. It was wonderful to see!
At the start of Working Parents Day, we asked a “Question of the Day”: Where would you like to play today? Dramatic Play, Art Center, or both?
We also had a father-daughter pair who created costumes in art center, in order to facilitate dramatic play:
Of course, dads found additional ways to connect with their children as well:
The whole day was fabulous, and we loved the spirit with which the dads participated!
