Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of stages. Until a baby is one and a half the main learning is learning to trust, which is why is it so important to make babies feel safe and secure. The next stage is until age 3 or 4. At this time children start to learn about the world around them and they need to have the freedom to explore. This can require a lot of patience! From age 3 or 4 to 5 or 6 is the time children learn to take on some simple responsibilities and to learn new, more complicated skills. Imagination is very important at this stage. School age children, from age 6 to 12, must learn about social relationships outside their own families. It is not until this age that they can really learn to follow rules. During adolescence teenagers begin to know who they are and how they fit into society – it is not an easy job to figure this out. Can you recognize your children in this description? Are these descriptions true in your culture as well?.

"The flexibility the program affords us is outstanding. With other child care options, I always felt I was accommodating their schedule instead of my own."
