Testing out the Goods

As space at our current centre does not allow for the storage of all the exciting resources I am buying for our Infant and Toddler Room, I'm having to store them at home. Which means some of them are getting tested out by my boys.

It would appear that both of them (and the doll) approved of the cocoon seats that arrived yesterday.

We believe it is important to allow babies to unfold naturally, in their own time and pace. This encourages babies and children to learn their own capabilities and allows them to move in ways that are enjoyable to them.

With this in mind, the resources and equipment we have in our Infant and Toddler room will allow children to do just that - move and explore at their own pace. You won't find us lifting the tamariki on to swings and pushing them. Instead, our 'swings' will be low hung (just like in the picture) and the children can climb on, or in, themselves. This allows them to be in control of their movement and play and learn their own boundaries.
