Our Early Childhood Program provides early education and care for children ages 2 through 6 years. While teachers share control and initiative with children, they are guided by 58 key experiences that all children need to have as part of their intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development. Adult-Child Interaction Adults observe and interact with children at their level to discover how each child thinks and reasons.
Adults interact with children in ways that empower children to take control of their own learning.
Learning Environment Classroom furniture and equipment are arranged in several clearly defined interest areas that enable children to find, use, and return the materials they need in order to explore, invent, and learn about their world. Daily Routine Each day follows a similar schedule of events, providing consistency for both children and adults. They use these notes to assess each child s development and to plan activities that will facilitate their growth and development. They also use these notes in parent meetings to help parents better understand their children s development. Home Visits and Child Progress Conference Home visits are scheduled 2 to 3 times per year with families enrolled in our Early Childhood Program.
