We have a new member to our KIDSPACE whanau, Jack, who has settled in very well. On Jack's very first visit, he showed a real interest in the sandpit digger, scooping up loads of sand and placing it in a large pile. Yesterday, on Jacks first full day, the sandpit is where he chose to play once again, and upon seeing the digger in the shed, requested that I get it out for him.
Well what fun he had, and he spent a very lengthy period engaged in his work.
Jack is already developing a feeling of belonging, and having a right to belong, in the early childhood setting, as well as the knowledge that trying things out, exploration, and curiosity are important and valued ways of learning.
