We go outside twice a day and stay outside for approximately 30 minutes each time. Most of the 18 students DO NOT have snow pants. Without proper outside attire, they have to stay on the pavement. As you can imagine, that is no fun for a four year old. Living in West Michigan we get plenty of lake effect snow
Outside play is essential for gross motor development in preschool children and they crave the fresh air and playtime! Having a full set of snow gear will eliminate a huge barrier and allow all children to actually enjoy the cold weather and not watch from the sidelines.
