This is an article about how children’s secure attachment sets the stage for positive well-being. It discusses what attachment theory is and the importance of a secure base. It also details the benefits of secure attachment and how parents can be a secure base for their children. Some of the important points from this article are that children with secure attachment are more likely to be better problem solvers, more emotionally intelligent, and have better quality friendships. Parents can be a secure base for their children by being responsive and nurturing, and by tending to their cues and signals.

 

Secure Attachment in Small Kindergartens

Secure attachment is an emotional bond between a child and their educators that develops in early childhood. It is characterized by a sense of trust and security in the child's mind that their educators are there for them and will respond to their needs. 

Small daycare kindergartens can play an important role in supporting secure attachment in children. In small centres, educators are able to provide each child with more individual attention and to build stronger relationships with them. Additionally, small kindergartens often have lower teacher-to-child ratios, which means that educators have more time to respond to the children's needs and to provide them with the support they need to develop secure attachments.

At Edu-Play Early Learning, we encourage all our educators to refer to the circle of security for guidance on how to build secure attachments with children participating in our educational program. That's what sets us apart of other childcare and kindergarten centres in Altona!
