Preschoolers

At about 30-36 months children begin to create social bonds that are based upon choice and conscious decision. This is a critical time during which children are beginning to understand the need and desire for having other people in their lives. As Preschoolers start to experience the importance of interdependence, which will guide them through their entire lives, the role of their teachers must also transition.

During this developmental stage the role of caregivers begins to take on characteristics of a mediator. Our preschool teachers are not only hired for their “teaching” abilities but more importantly for their “facilitating” abilities. They not only facilitate learning but most importantly they facilitate the social engagement of preschoolers with their peers.
