| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Wimzie's House is targeted at 3 to 5 year old children and designed to contribute to the developmental and educational needs of children in this age group. Three to five year old children are accomplishing phenomenal growth and change in their physical, cognitive (language, perception, and intellectual), and social-emotional development. Growth and change in the physical domain impacts the range of opportunities they have to experience new environments and opportunities for social interaction. New environments and social interactions impact their socio-emotional development. And, their vastly increased language ability and growing cognitive capacity affects both their ability to regulate and express emotions and their ability to mentally represent their experiences. The integrated nature of their rapid development during this time period makes this a time when the child imagination becomes vivid, complicated and exciting. Three to five year olds use their imagination to assimilate new learnings, develop empathy and a sense of humor and begin to develop a conscience. Their imaginations and their fantasy play help children understand the complexity of the communities they are venturing into as they expand their range beyond home to schools, neighborhoods and social groups. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Wimzie's House is targeted at 3 to 5 year old children and designed to contribute to the developmental and educational needs of children in this age group. Three to five year old children are accomplishing phenomenal growth and change in their physical, cognitive (language, perception, and intellectual), and social-emotional development. Growth and change in the physical domain impacts the range of opportunities they have to experience new environments and opportunities for social interaction. New environments and social interactions impact their socio-emotional development. And, their vastly increased language ability and growing cognitive capacity affects both their ability to regulate and express emotions and their ability to mentally represent their experiences. The integrated nature of their rapid development during this time period makes this a time when the child imagination becomes vivid, complicated and exciting. Three to five year olds use their imagination to assimilate new learnings, develop empathy and a sense of humor and begin to develop a conscience. Their imaginations and their fantasy play help children understand the complexity of the communities they are venturing into as they expand their range beyond home to schools, neighborhoods and social groups. |
