Interaction

We plan to incorporate a linguistic rich environment that will include making sign language a classroom routine. This will also include baby Spanish language introduced at four months and incorporated into daily routines. There will be daily notes, weekly field reports, and on-going teacher-parent communication.

 

Home School Connection

Weekly reports will enrich the bonding between parent and child and will act as an extension of the classroom curriculum at the home environment. The curriculum will be designed to focus on age appropriate activities to foster early brain development reinforcing Responsiveness, Connecting and Interaction.
