Babies (5)

Babies

The arrival of a baby is a new beginning for every family, bringing lots of joy and change to all.
This week in Play School, we learn about babies and their growing stages through songs, stories, films and creative play.
We also look at ways to involve young children with their new brother or sister to avoid feelings of displacement and encourage them to feel proud of being “big” and their capabilities.
Throughout the week, we feature a special series of baby films that look at different aspects of a baby’s daily routine, such as sleeping, playing, eating and bathing.
