Our Morning Multiage Program runs five days per week and is a time of deep exploration, thoughtful questioning, and lively play. More information about the daily schedule can be found below.

The Morning Multiage Program creates a rich environment for learning through play and experience. Children’s learning styles and perspectives vary so widely in a multiage group that there is no sense of comparison or competition. Instead, there is a family-like, caring characteristic between children as they enrich each other’s learning.

We practice emergent curriculum; new studies emerge from the children's interests and play each year. Teachers infuse the curricula with the academic concepts children need to be familiar with before Kindergarten. Younger children have the opportunity to be exposed to these concepts and learn higher-level cognitive and social skills by observing and learning from older children. Older children have the opportunity to help teach the concepts that they are mastering. 

Research indicates that leadership and prosocial behaviors increase in multiage classes. Older children are able to take on leadership roles and support younger children. Sharing and teaching ideas stimulates the more experienced child’s thinking and cognitive growth. Furthermore, this creates a wonderful opportunity to build a strong sense of self-confidence at an early age.
