There are seven basic components evident in all primary classrooms. Many parents wonder what the primary classroom will look. A snapshot picture should reveal lots of active learning taking place. Instructional practices should focus on each child's individual strength while addressing social, emotional, physical, and academic development.

The day's learning activities revolve around a central theme engaging children in meaningful, real life activities.
