Multi-Age Program Our Multi-Age Program for both three and four year olds are based on research findings that indicate an age range of greater than one year in a classroom can provide a level of intellectual stimulation that supports the development of both social and academic competence. Multi age programs capitalize on diversity. A strong emphasis is placed on individualizing the progress of each child. Teachers encourage children with different experiences, abilities and stages of development to work cooperatively in a child friendly environment. The Multi-Age Program offers two, three, four, or five day schedules. The hours are 8:25-2:10. Tuition rates vary based on the number of days. Students must be three years of age by September 1st prior to their September start date. |
