In our daycare, we follow many of the philosophies of Waldorf and Montessori educations.
One of the main ideas behind Waldorf education is including children in many aspects of everyday life. Chores and other duties are a big part of that.
When the children help Nana, our "helper elves" are learning that chores, such as dishes, are a part of daily life, as well as feeling important and needed.
Now why cant I get him to dishes here...lol
