Children may play on their own or with others. The classroom is filled with toys, blocks, books, manipulatives, doll houses, dress-up, books, tools, a toy kitchen area, music, puppets, Legos, puzzles, cars, dinosaurs, trains, baby dolls, music, and on and on.

This play is a child’s work. As they play they are experimenting with physical relationships, their coordination, and using their imagination. This experimentation fosters their growing understanding of cause and effect. Throughout they hone their social skills as they share, cooperate and co-exist.

At TOT DROP, teachers facilitate play and help to build the children's vocabulary by offering a “play-by-play” of the action. (See detailed explanation in Language.) Through play a child’s language blossoms.
