The curriculum fosters problem-solving situations that are real and relevant to the children. Child-child interactions are encouraged through the use of cooperative groups and peer tutoring. Programs are age appropriate and meet individual needs. Curriculum is based on sequences of growth and development for young children.
Programs are responsive to individual differences.

Grouping practices are used to strengthen children s learning. Discipline techniques are employed which foster self-control, responsibility, and respect for self, others, and property.
