Fostering Friendships
The fostering of friendships is often a hot topic that is raised with us by parents. It can be a worry to not knowing who your child plays with while with us during the day and even more so, having the concern of your child being a 'loner' or not having 'a friend'.
You can feel reassured that as part of our role caring for your children, that their independence and sense of belonging are two of the most important aspects that we nurture each day. These two concepts help them socialise because they grow confident in what they are capable of first and foremost and know who they are. This develops as your child selects their work, following their interest and decides whether to work alone or with their peers.
Throughout each day, children will make their own fun independently or with friends. We talk about us all being friends together and assist the children with the mastering of social skills that they soon acquire as they develop. Generally, they use body language to communicate and as they develop, so does their language to be able to invite a friend to join them in their work.
