Educational Background

Download PDFs: English | en Español

Grocery stores provide us with food options so we can stay healthy. In the Whole Foods Market exhibit, children can explore early math concepts by identifying attributes of foods, sorting into groups, and counting how many items they have in their cart. Language skills can develop from describing their “purchases” as well as role playing various jobs and tasks at a grocery store.

• Social & Emotional Development: Children practice social relationships, social skills and self-regulation as they engage in dramatic play experiences with others. Children also have the opportunity to build self-confidence by self-selecting which role to emulate.
• Language Development: Exploring our themed environment provides opportunities to learn new vocabulary, ask questions, seek information, and engage in conversations about what they observe as they interact with other guests.
• Motor Skills: Children practice grasping and holding a variety of shapes and sizes of foods and packaging. They also practice maneuvering themselves and a cart around the grocery store.
