Where you see the symbols by the programs you will know what domains they primarily focus on. Developmental Domains: Physical Health & Well-Being: Encouraging physical growth and independence, gross and fine motor skills and coordination. Social Competence: Encouraging playing well with others, curiosity about the world, respect for adults and other children, behavior and following rules / instructions, independence, self-confidence and eagerness to explore new things. Emotional Maturity: Regardless of background, many people need help at some point and whether it is for you, a family member, colleague or a friend, we are here to offer assistance and aim to help get you to the service you need quickly.
