During our Summer Program, students enjoy water play days to both cool off in the summer heat, and because there are many benefits to water play.

-Sensory: Water play allows for students to explore the sensory aspects of water. They get to explore the touch, feel, and sensations of water.
-Emotional Regulation: High-energy water exploration allows children to take the time to regulate their own emotions by releasing any nervous energy and provides children an opportunity to reset their emotions.
-Communication Skills: Playing with water in a class setting can allow for children to forge relationships and improve their communication skills as they must ask their other classmates how they prefer to play with the water.
