This play is never sacrificed for more instructional time. Teachers read books to children throughout the day, not just at group story time. Curriculum is adapted for those who are ahead as well as those who need additional help. Because children differ experiences and background, they do not learn the same things at the same time in the same way. Children and their parents look forward to school.
Parents feel safe sending their child to kindergarten.
Individual kindergarten classrooms will vary, and curriculum will vary according to the interests and backgrounds of the children.
