Parent Questions:
1. Regarding the preschool curriculum - Will children/parents have to request and stick to one of those themed rooms their entire preschool time there?
Answer: No. We are planning to move the children through each room, everyday. That will give them a variety of experiences and have an opportunity to explore things they may not have initially considered. We will allow the children the freedom to choose where to spend the majority of their time and we will listen to what parents wish for their children and modify the routine accordingly.
2. Regarding the infant rooms - Will each room have the full age range of 6 weeks to 15 months?
Answer: No, probably not. We will have a total of 3 infant rooms consisting of 8 children each. That is 24 children under the age of 15 months. With that number, we will be able to pair the children up with peers that are close in age. We will likely have babies who are 6 months and under in one room, 6 months to crawling in another room, and then our older infants who are walking will have their own space. This will ensure the best experience for the children by allowing them age appropriate toys and age appropriate peers.
3. Will there be assistants in addition to the 1-2 teachers assigned per room?
Answer: Yes. Each program leader will have an assistant. Rose, Reina, and I will also be on-site everyday to ensure the program is being operated to our standards. We will not be offering teaching positions or aide positions to anyone who does not have a minimum of 6 months of programmatic experience. We will be looking to fill our teaching positions with highly effective, reliable and trustworthy candidates.
