Why integrity in Preschool?
The concept of integrity may sound advanced, but in a child’s world, it simply means:
- Telling the truth even when it’s difficult
- Helping others instead of looking away
- Standing up to unkindness or peer pressure
- Doing the right thing – even when no adult is watching
These are skills that children practice every day, which can be strengthened through stories they connect with.
