Teacher modify curriculum to meet children's needs. Our ratios our low so teacher can easily modify curriculum to modify to meet child's needs. Teachers brainstorm ways to help children developmental milestones.
Teachers send home daily and weekly notes on behaviors and progress. We also have conferences when needed with parents. Also provide monthly newsletter to parents.
