Practical life

Practical Life skills permeate the culture of the classroom where independence is fostered in each child. "Help me to do it myself" is the prevailing philosophy of the classroom.

Child-sized implements and specially designed activities promote the child's ability to manage their own affairs, whilst improving fine motor skills and often providing pre-literacy and pre-numeracy concepts in the program.
