Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the implementation of Nodding’s ideas of creating centers as a platform for developing in children caring, pro-social behavior. Different centers such as a veterinary center, grocery store, house, baby center, woodworking center, hairdressing, block center, and composting and recycling activities based on play, provide opportunities for stimulating the social development of children and create a caring community of learners based on sharing, helping each other, working as a team and caring for others’ well-being.
