Teaching children in a small school
The program and school are fantastic. The school is small; about 160 kids on average, preschool through grade 9. We're like a family. I set up the current preschool program replacing a very traditional academic "teacher driven" program. The program now uses much of the criteria by NAEYC combined with my own knowledge of the brain development and learning. I also work to meet the needs of the very diverse population. I am able to put into practice 99% of what I believe should be in a program. I've reached a point where I can do this without any hassle.
