Children’s social development

The aim and objective of social education at the nursery is to foster and strengthen the children’s social development so that they can control their own needs and expectations in interaction with other children and adults. Children’s actions should stem from their own discernment and not be imposed from outside.

At the nursery, situations arise in which children learn to recognise the consequences of their behaviour and adapt their behaviour accordingly. In friendly, child-oriented surroundings and a positive atmosphere, they feel safe and secure.

This gives the children a sense of inner peace and balance, strengthens their self-confidence and creates a positive attitude towards their surroundings.

The children’s innate curiosity, their openness and their receptiveness are maintained and fostered. Enjoyment of communication and motivation to take part in events and play with children of the same age are essential requirements for successful development.
