Before we put our three-year-old child Billy, into a day care we want to ensure.
that they have certain programs that will allow him to grow and prosper. Firstly, a day.
care should have programs that allow children to develop free will. Such programs as.
drawing/painting, let children create and express themselves freely. Furthermore,.
allowing children to play with blocks (legos) can also enhance their sense of.
independence and creativity. If they are given time to play and do whatever they want.
with the blocks they can become more independent.
According to Erikson, self-confidence is learned between the ages of 1-3. .
Hopefully, since our child is three, he will be involved in a program that develops his.
self-confidence. Programs such as swimming and playtime can build the self-confidence.
of a child. Swimming allows for a child to learn to overcome the fear of things they are.
unsure of such as water. Allowing children to swim on their own can definitely help their.
self-confidence and open their eyes to something new. Moreover, playtime with others.
allows children to socialize with kids of the same age and gain confidence in their social.
and mental skills. Both self-confidence and free will programs allow children to become.
individuals.
Accordingly, Erikson's theory states the need for imagination and language.
between the ages of 3-5. A day care is needed that allows our child to learn creativity. A.
program like show and tell gives children the creative nature to express themselves. They.
can use objects and create presentations about something that is meaningful to them. Arts.
and crafts is also a program that definitely enhances their imagination. Allowing children.
to make/create things and draw pictures allows them to use their imagination and do their.
work according to what they think is imaginative and creative. .
Language is also developed in this stage. Programs with large amounts of reading.
