It'a good start! We also develop trusting and nurturing relationships with the children, build upon relationships wit the families, provide each child with individual care and support based on their needs, skills and abilities. Extend on children's interests, support children's skills, challenge children's abilities and thinking process. Provide a foundation of learning. Develop social skills, independence and confidence...

I found some information which you may find useful...
