Adopt-a-Pet Initiative
Have kids work on their bonding skills by adopting a pet that you can house in the nursery. It will give them a sense of how to care for animals at a young age, since toddlers show immediate affection toward something that they aren't familiar with. Make sure that the pets are a friendly breed and that there is supervision from the pet adoption agency on the first couple of days, to get yourself accustomed to taking care of one. Have kids feed them, pet them and engage in playing with the animal to boost their happy natures and interacting skills.

A Time for Reading
We all know as adults that reading is an integral part of the learning process when we're young. It stands true that the earlier you introduce a skill or activity meant for development, the better it is for one to grasp as they age. Reading aloud to kids and showing them graphic representations of the stories will keep them interested and willing to pay attention. Kids today are smart and ready to take in what is offered in terms of teaching, so use this time to introduce them to as much text and visual enhancements as possible. Use projected slideshows or computer-generated work in both print and otherwise, to keep things creative and intriguing.
