Multi-Age Program
Our Multi-Age Program transforms a child’s learning experience. Grounded in sound pedagogy, it brings three and four-year-olds together, in one classroom, while offering a more personalized and transformative learning experience. In our program, we offer a caring environment and with the many known benefits to the multi-age classroom, where the teachers put learning at the center, both socially, emotionally, and academically. The older students in the class help teach the younger students by modeling more sophisticated, complex problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Research has shown that children in mixed-age classrooms have increased social and emotional understanding, engage in both collaborative and independent learning with greater ease, and have more positive peer interactions than their counterparts in single-grade classrooms.
