Children in the 3-year-old room are able to demonstrate much more independence in all their life skills. Their social skills have developed from parallel play to the beginning of cooperative play. The room is designed so that there is a choice of play. At Kinder Haven, children lead the way by choosing the learning outcomes they would like to explore. Children are packed with so much underlying knowledge and as teachers; we act as resources to enable their understanding of the world around them to be extended on in meaningful, purposeful play. Of course, love, care and nurturing are still paramount to every day at Kinder Haven, as well as a fun, educational program. We offer high interaction and physical involvement activities such as block play, dramatic play, messy play, climbing and balancing. Language development can involve noisy types of play, e.g. life experiences play or role modelling. This age group is extremely curious and experimental and we support this learning whole heartedly.
