I am excited to share with you our Early Childhood Program strategic plan for the upcoming school year. As the ECP evolves, it is my goal to enhance the structure of our learning environment to fully reflect the Reggio and International Baccalaureate philosophies for our youngest students. For the coming 2017-18 school year, we are able to complete this vision.

We thank you for your shared enthusiasm and support of our school’s growth. We are honored to partner with you as we lay the foundation of your child’s rich educational journey.
Team teaching in the Toddler Suite with 4 teachers:
- Early Toddler (age 2 as of Sept. 7) with a daily maximum of 8 children.
- Late Toddler (Age 3 to 3.5 as of Sept. 7) with a daily maximum of 10 children.
- There will be two lead teachers for the dual-classroom suite, one teacher for the Late Toddler (LT) class and one teacher for the Early Toddler (ET) class. Each classroom will provide materials and experiences aligned with their students’ developmental phase. The lead teachers will collaborate as a team, however, the parent communication and program planning will be focused on age specific grouping. The Toddler Suite will continue to have shared experiences, such as morning meetings, in order to take advantage of social learning. The teachers will also tailor the curriculum according to the developmental stages in the two divisions, targeting instruction accordingly.
- There will be an Atelier and Assistant Teacher strictly dedicated to the Toddler Suite.
Co-teaching in the Preschool Suite with 3 teachers:
- Preschool (age 3.5- 5 years as of Sept. 7) will be in the dual-classroom suite with two co-teachers and an Atelier strictly dedicated to the Preschool Suite. The co-teachers will continue to collaborate on all aspects of curriculum planning, assessment, and parent communication.
We thank you for your shared enthusiasm and support of our school’s growth. We are honored to partner with you as we lay the foundation of your child’s rich educational journey.
