Instructional Model
A young child's cognitive, language and social skills are interrelated and develop in an overlapping fashion. Therefore, the program is oriented towards the "whole child". The instructional model of the program is based on the knowledge that children learn through activities and materials that are concrete and relevant to their lives. In a small group, teachers provide a wide range of socialization, motor, speech and language experiences. These activities are appropriate to the child's age and individual needs. Parent involvement is an essential component of the program. by working closely with families, teachers can enhance the parents' skills in meeting their child's needs.
