Children aged one to three years old spend their days in a mixed-age classroom. One specific benefit of this diversity is that it helps to eliminate unhealthy competition between students. Students of similar ages and abilities naturally compare themselves to one another. In a mixed-age classroom, attention is instead drawn to the range of talents and abilities within the class and allows children to relax and learn at their own pace. Because each child is working at their own pace, they can focus on their own learning goals and progress. We are intentional about promoting friendships of all ages to prepare children for elementary school and to enhance relationships they build throughout their early years.

We understand each child learns at their own pace. With that, we are meticulous when creating individualized learning plans for each child. Status reports are sent home each Friday – please let your child’s teacher know if you have concerns about areas of opportunity for their learning.
