The children in your care need daily opportunities to participate in activities that help them learn new skills and practice existing skills in a fun, stimulating and supportive environment. Children develop social emotional skills in the context of their relationships with primary caregivers, including child care educators. Parents and caregivers play the biggest role in social emotional development because they are a child’s most consistent relationship.
