Math & Measuring
One-to-one correspondence
One-to-one correspondence is an important number relationships and operations math skill that involves counting each object in a set once, and only once with a touch on each object. This begins early on when young children drop one object at a time into a container and grows to older children comparing small sets of similar objects.

Social Emotional
Social and emotional development encompasses young children’s evolving capacity to form close and positive adult and peer relationships and express a full range of emotions in socially and culturally appropriate ways. These skills are essential for lifelong learning. Healthy social and emotional development benefits from consistent, positive interactions with educators, parents/primary caregivers, and other familiar adults who appreciate each child’s individual temperament.
