A Flourishing Community: Learning in Preschool

Learning in Preschool

In preschool, teachers utilize center-based environments to achieve learning goals and ensure children develop in a play-based, engaging classroom. They track progress over time and use that information to help arrange students in learning activities to support their needs. 

Recently, teachers from three classes took this to the next level and swapped students! After tracking progress in letter recognition, teachers across classrooms designed centers to meet the needs of learners based on individual learning progress. It also allowed our youngest learners to build social skills as they also spent time interacting and meeting new friends (who, in time, will also be classmates). Kids loved it as they got to travel, work with a new teacher, and make new friends. For teachers, it allowed them to target specific needs of students as they help prepare them for kindergarten!
