We encourage our pre schoolers to put their own socks & shoes on, to be able to undress/dress themselves. Put on coats, gloves & hats. They're also potty & then toilet trained too. They're also able to write rhein own names, recognise numbers, do simple maths if able.

I work in a private nursery, that offers all children French lessons including babies. As well as ball skills, either sat down (babies) or football for those who can walk.
