We will help them bring their imagination to life by providing flexibility in the curriculum to focus on what the children are interested in as we prepare them for kindergarten. This age group will also learn to work in larger groups. Although the ratios of students to teachers are still lower than the state requires, children of this age will be in the largest classroom with the most children. We will provide simple games with rules so your child can learn the basis of cooperative play and as always, continue to give them lots of love, fun, approval and encouragement.

Teachers will introduce a more structured environment but will still focus on self-directed learning and play to meet the individual needs of each child. Areas of focus will be spelling their names, beginning writing, cutting with scissors, music, gym, etc. Studies have shown that 95% of a child's brain is formed within the first 3 years of life, so in this year we will spend time on many different topics and expose the children to as many diverse experiences as possible.

What we want the Guides to do in this classroom is to get down on the floor, play with and love on these babies! Koalas: 12 months and walking to 2 years At this stage children practice what they see and experience. This environment will be structured where the Koalas can enjoy imitating and playing, and where Guides can assist them through behaviors they do not yet understand (sharing, taking turns).
