In response to changes in children’s needs providers made various adjustments: • Increased focus on key areas of learning, especially on social and emotional development, and personal hygiene. • Increased outdoor playtime and focus on motor skills since many children had spent more time indoors and become more sedentary. • Focussed on kindness, listening and taking turns to help children settle in again.
