Community Building in the 5-Year-Old Kindergarten Classroom to Promote Children's Well-Being

Abstract

Community building in a kindergarten classroom refers to teachers' intentional efforts to foster a friendly, inclusive, and collaborative atmosphere in which children feel valued and connected to one another. This process entails building relationships between student and teacher which are critical for establishing a feeling of belonging. Children are at a vital period of social and emotional development when they are five years old. Therefore, building a solid community may have a big influence on their overall well-being.
