Small tasks with a purpose
Pouring water and polishing a plate involve a beginning, a sequence and a finish. Repeating the activity gives a child another chance to practise. Low tables and accessible shelves help children reach the things they need.
Finding words to join in
Naming an object, asking for help and telling someone what happened give language a purpose. Listening and conversation belong alongside stories and early experiences with sounds and words.
Becoming part of the group
Learning to wait for a material, make space for another child and return something to its place brings other people into the picture. Independence grows alongside learning how to share a room.
Starting school together
A first day at school is a change for parents too. Tell us about your child’s routines, previous experiences of separation and what helps them feel comfortable. Bring your questions about drop-off, toilet learning and the first few days.
