Children Ages 3, 4, & 5 in the same classroom
*Children are able to spend longer periods of time with the same teacher.
*Children are viewed as unique individuals. The teacher focuses on teaching each child according to his or her own strengths, unlike in same-grade classrooms that often expect all children to be at the same place at the same time with regard to ability.
*Children are not labeled according to their ability, and children learn at their own rate.
* Children develop a sense of family with their classmates. They become a "family of learners" who support and care for each other.
* Older children have the opportunity to serve as mentors and to take leadership roles.
* Children are more likely to cooperate than compete. The spirit of cooperation and caring makes it possible for children to help each other as individuals, not see each other as competitors.
* Older children model more sophisticated approaches to problem solving, and younger children are able to accomplish tasks they could not do without the assistance of older children. This dynamic increases the older child’s level of independence and competence.
*Children have almost an extra month of teaching time, because the teacher does not have to spend the early weeks in the school year getting to know each child. - Children are exposed to positive models for behavior and social skills.
