The Kindercare Learning Center follows this structure at both of their facilities in Columbia. Instructors call this group of children the school age cluster. However, this type of organization presents a number of problems.
Older children believe themselves to be adult.
They want to do adult like activities. Everyday there is conflict if not physical fighting, there is always verbal conflict. Physically, emotionally, and sociologically children in the younger age groups act differently from older children. They become interested in the opposite sex and desire to be on their own. Children of age 6 and 7 require large amounts of attention.
