Behaviour

Spending time together is an important part of human life. When a child feels seen and really heard, within an environment that enables them to explore their own unique interests, and honours their natural stage of development and pace, they are able to truly thrive and are capable.

The environment is held by adults 'tuned in' to each child.

• We recognise the individuality of all our children.

• We support children in regulating their emotions by connecting with them, acknowledging their experiences, and modelling appropriate ways of managing emotional challenges.

• Encourage consideration for each other, our surroundings and property.

• We ensure that children feel valued and respected by developing authentic relationships with them.

• Communicate clearly that physical aggression towards others is not appropriate behaviour.

• We work in partnership with parents and carers by keeping them regularly informed about their children.

The work of the adult is key - from parents and carers to the adult facilitating the session, this all leads to important skills in self-regulation and health development. We have three important and simple rules that we as a community agree to from the outset:

We Take Care of Ourselves.

We Take Care of One Another.

We Take Care of the Place We’re in.

Our community rules are laid out here for parents: https://nurturekindergarten.com/community
