Independence skills are crucial for every child’s development and at Monkey Puzzle New Cross we do everything we can to support our children to become independent and successful school ready children!
This can be seen a lot of different ways from encouraging our older children to use the toilet independently (with help on hand of course), encouraging the children to wash their hands, to try to put on their own coats and shoes, serving their own lunch and choosing their own resources. All these little skills build confidence and determination in our children, allowing them to achieve tasks and enjoy the rewards and praise that come with those achievements!
Lots of encouragement and support gives every child the greatest opportunity to become the amazing person they can be!
