- Developmentally appropriate curriculum
- Degreed or highly qualified faculty
- Over 10,000 pieces of learning equipment
The teachers can choose from over 300 flannel board stories and over 10,000 pieces of learning equipment, as well as academic computer programs. A child can go all the way through our school without using the same piece of learning equipment twice. Each teacher checks out new books, puzzles, records, and learning equipment for her classroom every two weeks; therefore, there is a constant rotation of materials in the classrooms. A child chooses materials that will offer a challenge but never defeat. This way a child progresses at their own pace without being pushed or held back.
