In the 3 and 4 year old classes we encourage independent play and peer interaction. A teacher or aide is always nearby to offer assistance, lend support, play a game, direct a new activity, or calm hurt feelings. There will be time to grow, time and room to explore, time to experiment, time to discover, and time to play – time to be a child!
