​

Our teachers help to advance our Preschoolers make sense of their learning experiences by having them to explain their way of thinking. Children are inspired to try different things. They are also encouraged to take on small challenges. Teacher-guided learning activities give advance preschoolers more opportunity to build self-esteem as children find out they can do things they never thought they could. Teachers plan small and large group experiences that expands each child’s learning, leaving no child behind. Advance Preschoolers are offered more structure in their daily routines and learning. The children are also given many opportunities to practice new skills. Teachers offer choices to allow children to become more independent and take responsibility for their learning.
