Welcome to Dream-I Deli & Restaurant, where little chefs embark on delightful culinary adventures in our charming pretend play sandwich shop! Nestled in the heart of our preschool, this bustling eatery sparks imaginations and fosters creativity as children explore the art of sandwich making.



Provide many props

At Dream-I Deli, we believe in hands-on learning experiences that engage all the senses. Our sandwich station boasts a colorful array of felt ingredients, including juicy ham, crisp onions, crunchy lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and savory bacon. With these delightful props, children are encouraged to unleash their creativity and concoct mouthwatering sandwiches limited only by their imagination. The pretend restaurant is equipped with napkin dispensers, salt and pepper shakers, and bottles of ketchup and mustard, our young chefs and patrons alike embrace the ambiance of a bustling deli.






Role Playing

As they step into the role of both workers and customers, children dive into the immersive world of restaurant operations. Behind the counter, budding sandwich artists take on the task of assembling custom creations. With eager customers placing their orders, our little workers diligently craft sandwiches to perfection, ensuring each ingredient is placed just right. It's a wonderful opportunity for them to practice communication skills, teamwork, and fine motor coordination while having a blast.


Meanwhile, our young customers eagerly await their delicious meals. With anticipation bubbling, they watch as their sandwiches come to life before their eyes, made exactly to their specifications. Once the sandwiches are prepared, customers pay for their meals with pretend money, adding an exciting element of role-play and basic math skills. Then, with plates in hand, they settle in to savor their culinary creations, engaging in imaginative play as they enjoy their pretend feast.



At Dream-I Deli & Restaurant, the fun doesn't stop at crafting sandwiches—it's about fostering creativity, teamwork, and social skills in a playful and enriching environment. So join us as we embark on culinary adventures filled with laughter, learning, and delicious pretend sandwiches!
