How Children Learn About Responsibility

“Valuing children’s contributions to others’ learning is a feature of New Zealand’s early childhood education curriculum - and at Daisies. We think that when the teachers fostered interdependence, and tuakana-teina relationships, and collective responsibility for the Daisies’ community, individual children learnt more specific skills and the disposition to contribute - to willingly help others.”
