School Program Areas

Each area of the classroom is designed to  target specific skills for each child. There are a wide range of activities available for each developmental age group. 

The works flow in a continuum which allows each child the opportunity to work with them as they are developmentally ready, rather than as a group. The teachers role is to recognize the skills of each child in each area of the classroom and ensure work which is appropriate for them is provided.
