Pre-K Fun Now Leads to Handwriting Skills Later

Little House Pre-K students enjoy playing with playdough, stringing beads, and drawing and writing on chalkboards. These are among many playful activities that help our students develop strong fine-motor skills, which will benefit them when it’s time to begin handwriting!
