What is an independent participation class?
Children participate for the full length of class without their adults.
What is an adult participation class?
One adult is required to accompany each participating student to class. Adults must remain actively engaged for the full length of class. Music, language and art classes allow for one adult with two children.
What is a gentle separation program?
The gentle separation program is the process of achieving independent learning. While all parties (teachers and parents/caregivers) must share the goal of helping the child achieve independent learning, the parent/caregiver may stay with the child for as long as necessary. The parent plays a passive role in the learning environment and interacts with the child minimally, allowing the teachers to engage the child in class activities and to begin to create a student-teacher bond.
