Creation of prosocial play experiences inspired by Noddings’s ideas of centers of care
Journal Title: Problemy Wczesnej Edukacji - Year 2016, Vol 33, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper describes the implementation of Noddings’s ideas of creating centers as a platform for developing in children caring, prosocial behavior. Different centers such as a veterinary center, grocery store, house, baby center, woodworking center, hairdressing, block center, and composting and recycling activities based on play, provide opportunities for stimulating the social development of children and create a caring community of learners based on sharing, helping each other, working as a team and caring for others’ wellbeing.
