As toddlers, children rapidly develop social skills crucial for future interactions with others. Parents and caregivers can play an essential role in helping their toddlers develop socially by providing opportunities for socialization and monitoring and encouraging their progress.

For many adults, the new year brings an opportunity to set goals for the rest of the year. These goals can range from saving money, getting a dream job, or finally quitting smoking. But New Year's resolutions aren't just for adults! Helping children create goals for the new year can help them learn self–discipline and the value of setting goals in life.

Most children love getting their hands (and bodies) messy with pretty much anything. While it can be frustrating for caretakers to clean up the chaos, this kind of play is crucial to children’s development. Children learn about their bodies and the world around them through their five senses—sight, touch, smell, taste, and sound. At Romp n' Roll North Raleigh, we encourage children’s development by providing sensory play in a safe environment.
