A high quality child care program would encourage a 4 years old child to feel secure enough to try new things.

By age 4, a child usually feels secure enough to move eagerly beyond familiar experiences and try new things. A 4-year-old might become bolder about trying new foods (although it's not unusual for a child this age to be a picky eater), enjoying more challenging activities at the playground (going down a bigger slide or trying to climb higher on the jungle gym), entering a new group and inviting an unfamiliar child to play, or trying to learn a new sport or arts activity. A good program would have staff who would support and encourage the 4-year-old to be a risk-taker, complement them on their efforts and build that security they need to try on their own.
