I Wonder - Fuelling Your Child`s Curious Mind

Developing a sense of wonder in young children ignites their imagination, and encourages them to make connections in their world.

Playing with Words and Growing Your Child`s Vocabulary

The more words your child hears on a daily basis, the more they will learn, absorb, and eventually put to use themselves. Reading and talking with children daily plays an important role in developing their language and literacy skills.

Through everyday conversations and interactions, children learn new and unfamiliar words in familiar contexts, thus expanding their vocabulary. View our newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/NCCEVol213 for activities that will engage your child in exploring and discovering new words.

Developing Respect and Caring in Young Children
Children care for and develop a sense of respect for one another, and their environment as they mature and grow. Creating trusting foundational relationships with children and validating their feelings encourages them to maintain a sense of belonging. As children become self-regulated and confident in themselves, they will begin to also care for others, and respectfully consider the perspectives of their peers.

View our newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/NCCEVol211 for activities that encourage your child to foster a respectful and caring nature.
