🌟 Building Independence in Pre-School at meal times!🌟
At pre-school, we love helping our children become confident, capable and independent little learners! 💛
From putting on their own coats and shoes, to washing their hands, tidying away toys and making choices about their play, everyday routines provide wonderful opportunities for children to develop their independence. 🧥👟🧼🧸
We encourage our children to “have a go” for themselves, offering support and encouragement when needed. It’s not about getting everything right — it’s about having the confidence to try! 🌱
Children are able to choose snack choices, butter their own cracker an cut their own food!
Developing independence helps children build self-confidence, resilience, problem-solving skills and a sense of responsibility, all of which are important foundations for their next steps into school. 🎒✨
