Successful social interaction is a life skill that will
serve children well as they enter bigger schools. Interacting positively with
others, while maintaining high self-esteem, is an extremely important skill.
Part of our job is to help instill this as much as possible. Simple activities
such as walking to the park together can be a great social learning experience
for children. They are encouraged to look out for one another (everyone has
a buddy), take turns (everybody gets to jump over that mossy rock), follow directions
(turn right when we get to the end of this sidewalk), learn about traffic and
how people in cars follow signs and rules to stay safe, and so on.
