These interactions include physical movements, body language, talking and conversations, playing, sharing and more.

Early social interaction is particularly beneficial for child development, and the right environment can help children develop strong language skills, creativity, empathy, communication and confidence. Nursery is one such environment where these skills can thrive.

The taxonomy comprises three domains of learning: cognitive, affective and psycho-motor. Skills are ordered in a hierarchy, where each level takes over from the one before.

In principle, the taxonomy promotes higher forms of thinking and supports learning outcomes that focus on depth of learning rather than tasks.
