đź’—Babydoll Circle Timeđź’—


Happy Tuesday Academy of Westhaven families! We are excited to start another amazing week with our littles. They have all been loving this fall like weather that we’ve been having, and of course all of the extra outside time that comes along with it. We’ve also began our Frogstreet curriculum, and Babydoll Circle Time. 

Baby Doll Circle Time has quickly become a favorite activity among the students! During this special time, each child is given their own baby doll to care for. It’s heartwarming to watch them rock their dolls, gently feed them, sing soothing songs, and pat them to sleep with the utmost care.


This nurturing role-play provides more than just fun—it supports the emotional and social development of our little learners. By caring for their dolls, children practice empathy and compassion, learning how to respond to the needs of others. The act of rocking, feeding, and singing to their baby doll also helps to build their sense of responsibility, mirroring how caregivers tend to them in real life.


Baby Doll Circle Time is also a great opportunity for developing motor skills. Whether it's cradling the doll or mimicking feeding motions, these gentle movements enhance coordination. Additionally, through this activity, children engage in cooperative play and learn about the dynamics of relationships, which helps them understand the importance of kindness and patience.


We are so proud of how our students are engaging in this activity, nurturing their baby dolls just like they are nurtured every day. Baby Doll Circle Time has been a beautiful addition to our routine, fostering both heartwarming moments and essential developmental skills.
