Social Learning

Social learning is at the forefront of the curriculum in the Purple Room. Since young children don’t always have the ability to make connections between their actions and the resulting consequences, they benefit from some adult guidance. Every day they work on skills of negotiation, decision-making and modeling of appropriate social language.

These are some of the Purple Room’s favorite books:

Coriander, the Contrary Hen, Dori Chaconas
Enemy Pie, Derek Munson
Horace and Morris but Mostly Dolores, James Howe
Pumpkin Soup, Helen Cooper
Zinnia and Dot, Lisa Ernst
