We allow each child to move and learn at their own pace.
We know that learning is not linear, and that children are not ready to learn specific skills according to an adult-prepared timeline, or in perfect harmony with their peers.
Kids who need more support with certain skills get that support, and those who are ready to move ahead are able to find the challenges they crave.
