Individual and group schedules are very flexible and may change at any time. The curriculum is based primarily upon interactions between teachers and children. Each child has a primary caregiver. The child is able to feel safe, secure and loved. The nurturing environment forms a foundation for learning through exploration.
Teachers are aware of each child's needs, likes and dislikes.
The information that teachers learn about each child is used to enhance individual learning experiences. For example, a child may be given a wipe to clean his hands after snack. The child attempts to clean the table and everything around the table. The teacher knows that this child has an interest in farm animals and likes to clean. During this activity, and for all activities, the teacher talks about what the child is doing and encourages the child to respond verbally.
