OUR PROGRAMS
Our programs are composed of mixed-age groupings with Toddlers starting at 18 months up to 3 years old and Preschoolers ranging from 3 - 5 years old. Mixed-age groups have been shown to provide many benefits for children.
-
Empowers older children: Older children tend to take on leadership roles
-
Builds self-confidence and self-esteem
-
Encourages pro-social behaviors: Older children model turn-taking and sharing and, in turn, younger children in the group learn from their older peers
-
Builds empathy: Children who do not have younger siblings at home have the opportunity to care for and nurture their younger classmates
-
Allows children to stay with their teacher for a longer period: Allows teachers to develop a better understanding of the child's strengths and needs and places them in a better position to support the child's learning.
