Director's Comments on Individualized Teaching

Description of how teachers work with children who are  "behind," "excelling" or "different" from the majority of students

A developmental assessment using the tool, Desired Results Developmental Profile, is done for each child twice a year. This assessment tool gives us information about each child's unique development. The completed assessment is discussed with families at Parent Teacher Conferences which are held twice a year. Together, the teachers and families plan together to create a program that best meets the strengths and needs of each child.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

View an example from the Savvy Source guide to learn more.

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
