At Best Start Vivian Street children are encouraged to develop their social competency skills whilst being individuals.  Nga tamariki are encouraged to use their imaginations to use the resources any way they see fit, and this pram is no exception. This is a pram, but it is also a vehicle for learning.  Children are developing their language as they negotiate turns and develop listening skills and empathy when other children also want a turn.  Links between home and centre are being nurtured as children role model what they see at home and many a doll or dinosaur have been rocked into a peaceful sleep as children practice their nurturing skills.
