Encouraging our children’s creativity and imagination with open-ended play will help their mental, social, and emotional growth. The Nugget couch (or its alternatives) provides our little ones with endless play possibilities, apart from being a comfy couch. Since the sofa is already one of the most played-on furniture by toddlers, a Nugget alternative provides a safer way to keep them sufficiently occupied.
Essentially, our children want to do what we do, including everyday self-care. By setting up Montessori self-care stations at home, we can provide them the space and access to independently complete their daily routines. Not only does this help them build their self-confidence, but it also creates independence in everyday tasks.
Providing our little ones with quality education right from their pre-school days involves making an informed choice of the early childhood education approach suitable for them. For many of us, this means researching educational philosophies and narrowing them down to those that are the right fit for our family. In this article, we compare two popular and effective approaches; the Montessori method and Reggio Emilia approach.
