Adults guide children toward the right answers, with focus on early reading, math and science. Adults help children ask good questions and figure out ways to answer them. Children express what they learn in a variety of ways, with emphasis on art. They cover fewer subjects but in more depth, often returning to a topic later in the year. Children change teachers at least once a year.
High turnover is a problem at most preschools and day cares.
Children and teachers stay together for three years. Teachers are municipal employees who earn slightly less than elementary school teachers. Benefits are excellent. Turnover is not a problem.
