A Day in a Life
The Importance of Social Relationship in the Infant Classroom
In our classroom, we prioritize nurturing the budding social bonds between our infants and toddlers. Through carefully crafted activities and free play, we create an environment where they learn the invaluable lesson of companionship from the earliest age. Whether it's taking turn with the materials, exchanging giggles, or simply observing each other's actions, every interaction contributes to the rich tapestry of social development. These early connections lay the groundwork for empathy, cooperation, and a sense of belonging that will benefit them throughout their lives.
As educators, we recognize the profound importance of these social bonds in shaping the classroom dynamic. By fostering a sense of community, we create a supportive atmosphere where they feel safe to explore, communicate, and grow together. Our goal is not only to facilitate individual development but also to instill in them the understanding that they are part of a larger collective, where kindness, understanding, and friendship are the cornerstones of their shared experiences.
At Lucciola, we cherish the opportunity to engage with families and caregivers, understanding the pivotal role they play in a child's journey. Through open and frequent communication, we not only share the milestones and achievements of your little ones but also invite you into our classroom community. By fostering this partnership, we build trust and mutual respect, creating a supportive network where families feel valued and empowered in their child's education. From sharing anecdotes about their child's day to collaborating on strategies for growth and development, these conversations strengthen the bond between home and school, ensuring that every child receives the holistic support they need to thrive.

Tape Exploration in Young Preschool
In this encounter, children embraced the role of leaders in their exploration, with educators as collaborators, nurturing their curiosity and providing them with the space to unfold their learning experience!
Banyan class has shown interest in scissors, mark-making tools, small envelopes, and various types of small papers. On this specific day, introducing tape sparked curiosity. Child P creatively used the tape, stretching it around the classroom, capturing peers' attention as they followed him around the room, observing and asking questions. Child E observed initially but later tried to use the tape, encountering some difficulty; however, they continued to try!
The children took charge of exploration, engaging in interactions through questions and encouragement, fostering a collaborative learning experience.
