School Notes

  • Through social interaction, children form relationships with each other and with their teachers, and these relationships provide a foundation for early learning. Mastered, experienced teachers introduce children to life in a community, where they learn to comfortably share space and materials and navigate social situations. Teacher observations guide curriculum choices and projects based on children`s interests and their social development. This process occurs in an intimate, enriched environment designed to encourage collaborative play, exploration and problem solving.
