This large classroom is divided into activity and learning areas so children can be assigned to groups where teachers provide appropriate learning or play activities. Lessons relating to math, language arts, science, and social studies are provided daily. Music, art, large muscle activities and free play opportunities are provided in addition to academics. All activities in the preschool program support the development of necessary social skills. The ratio of staff to preschool children is 1:10.
