Spiritual Development

Spiritual Development
Spiritual development begins in infancy with feelings of security and a sense of wonder. Feeling loved and cared for establishes a sense of worth and inner peace even in very young children. This feeling of belonging and having a place in the world is vital to healthy development.  Offering experiences that invoke curiosity and wonder nourish spiritual development. Many of these experiences for young children will be through sensory explorations both indoors and outdoors in the natural world. 

During outdoor time they can be encouraged to appreciate nature, observe its beauty and wonder and treat it with respect. We can see and hear positive spiritual development in the smiles, laughs, giggles and content cooing of infants. These behaviors are the evidence of being cherished. Being valued assists children to build relationships where they can value and care for other people.
