The afternoon class will be receiving the roots of empathy program every wednesday. Baby Blaze is the baby that will be visiting our classroom. The goals of the program are as follows:
- To foster the development of empathy
- To develop emotional literacy
- To reduce levels of bullying, aggression and violence, and promote children's pro-social behaviours
- To increase knowledge of human development, learning, and infant safety
- To prepare students for responsible citizenship and responsive parenting
