Multiage Program

Our Multiage classroom is an enriching learning environment. This class is constructed based on the inquiry-based approach. This means it is a child-centered environment that focuses on both developmentally and individually appropriate practice. In this classroom, your child will have more time to “blossom,” without “performance” pressure. Due to our smaller class size, your child will develop a sense of family with their peers. They will become a family of learners who lead, follow, support, and care for each other.

Our multiage children are at different levels of skills, ages, and developmental stages. The preschool focus is also a part of our programming but it is a competency-based learning as opposed to a one-size-fits-all education. Our smaller class size allows our competent teacher to design various learning components that meet each child’s intellectual and developmental level. The preschool topics include letter recognition, phonics, numbers, shapes, color, sciences, and more.

Peer-to-peer scaffolding is the heart of our program. Older children have opportunities to guide and teach their younger peer. This aspect of learning is unique to the Multiage classroom. One of the best ways to acquire and retain knowledge is to teach it to someone else! Older children will gain a sense of competence while the younger ones will learn from their older friends.
