Teachers can:

• Help with separation anxiety between children and parents
• Help with tantrums that many children exhibit at this age
• Work with speech and language development
• Detect possible developmental or learning delays
• Assist children with following directions and making choices
• Help students to develop skills such as sharing and taking turns
• Teach the students routines and self-help skills

Children will begin to develop friendships outside of the family circle. They will have opportunities to play together in both small and large groups. They will develop responsibilities through daily chores such as being the line leader, door holder, weather person, calendar person, etc. Their sense of independence will grow as they develop important life skills. Your little one will start to explore the world outside your home. They will begin learning rules to more difficult games.
