The Caterpillars
Because children at this age soak up knowledge like sponges, the Caterpillar classroom invites children to grow and learn through fun and exciting activities. Our teachers at this level attempt to foster the growth of self-esteem, becoming problem solvers and life-long learners. High-Reach Learning Curriculum is used in this class, focusing on learning through guided play and discovery. Children work daily on literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts through independent, small, and large group instruction.
