Fine motor skills play a pivotal role in the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, and here at The Liberty School in the heart of Jersey City, we understand their significance.


Fine motor skills development is particularly important in the early years as it equips children with the dexterity and control they need for various tasks, from writing and drawing to everyday activities like buttoning a shirt or using eating utensils.


By fostering these skills within our Reggio-inspired environment, we empower children to become independent, confident, and lifelong learners.



At The Liberty School, our preschool children are introduced to a world of vibrant non-toxic and natural toys that serve as tools for sparking their imagination, creativity, and curiosity.

We believe that every child is unique and possesses their own thoughts, emotions, and feelings. We value and prioritize these individual qualities, which is why we encourage children to research, explore, and learn at their own pace, driven by their unique interests.


In the Reggio Emilia approach, the environment and the materials within it are seen as the "third teacher." This concept extends to the toys we provide in our preschool classroom, as they play a significant role in helping children practice both gross and fine motor skills.
