typical preschool 🥺
1: 6 teacher to child ratio
On average 1:12 with often the second adult being a nanny instead of a teacher
learning environments for each child
6+ learning environments so your child is always engaged: Homeroom, play area, makers space, atelier, storytelling room, movement studio.
Typically children spend the majority of time in one classroom which becomes monotonous over time.
