Who are the helpers in our neighborhood?
Preschoolers learn that a community is the place where we live, work and play together. They meet community helpers like firefighters, police officers, doctors, teachers and mail carriers, and learn how each one helps us. They also learn about places in the community, like the fire station, the farm and the library, and how to be a good helper themselves by caring for others and the Earth. The click comes when a child waves to a garbage truck and says, "Thank you for helping!"
Little ones learn about community through songs, pictures and play.
Play the community song and act out each helper: spray a hose, deliver a letter, check a heartbeat. Movement and music help little ones remember who does what.
