Meaningful Jobs

Allowing children to assist in classroom jobs helps them to develop feelings of capability. When we take time for training and allow them to learn from their mistakes they are typically eager to help with household tasks. In our classroom, children as young as 2 years old enjoy setting the table, unloading the dishwasher, filling water bottles from a small pitcher, wiping down the tables, spraying the mirrors, and taking the trash out.
