AGES: Preschool ages 2 – 3
The Star Room serves a group of 13-16 preschool-aged children in a mixed age grouping. Two full-time teachers and 1 full-time assistant teacher staff the classroom. With a balance of child-directed and teacher-directed activities, children in the Star room are solidifying their skills playing interactively with other children, in problem-solving and conflict resolution, and in regulating their emotions. They are beginning to work on long-term projects and ways to represent their work through art and literacy activities. Star children also are beginning to apply their understanding of numbers to real-world situations.
