At Hill Country Day School, we cherish the moment a toddler shares a toy or giggles with a friend. These tiny friendships lay the foundation for lifelong social skills. Here’s how preschool helps kids connect and thrive.
Learning to Share
Sharing is tough for toddlers, but it teaches empathy. In our classrooms, kids pass blocks or take turns with art supplies, guided by teachers who model kindness. These moments build trust and cooperation.
Mastering Communication
Group activities like circle time encourage toddlers to express ideas. Singing songs or answering simple questions helps them find their voice. Our teachers create a safe space for every child to be heard.
Building Empathy
Preschoolers learn to notice others’ feelings through play. A hug after a fall or cheering a friend’s success fosters compassion. Our buddy games, like partner puzzles, make empathy fun and natural.
Our Approach to Social Growth
At Hill Country Day School, we weave social learning into every day. Collaborative projects, like group murals, and role-playing games spark connections. Our small class sizes ensure every child feels valued.
Tips for Parents
Reinforce social skills at home! Play board games to practice turn-taking or read books about friendship, like Should I Share My Ice Cream? by Mo Willems. Praise your child for kind acts to boost confidence.
