Mixed-age classes (birth up to kindergarten) - SeparatingIn mixed-age classes, families and their young children come together to explore, play, and learn. Parenting educators facilitate conversations on child development and ways to support children’s growth and learning while building the parent/child relationship. Early childhood teachers create and engage children in developmentally appropriate activities to support the specific needs and growth of all children, from birth to kindergarten. Mixed-age classes are separating classes which means parents/caregivers spend half of the class time together with their child and half in parenting education while the child stays with an early childhood teacher. En las clases de edades mixtas, las familias y sus niños pequeños se reúnen para explorar, jugar y aprender. Los educadores de crianza facilitan conversaciones sobre el desarrollo infantil y las formas de apoyar el crecimiento y el aprendizaje de los niños mientras construyen la relación entre padres e hijos. Los maestros de la primera infancia crean e involucran a los niños en actividades apropiadas para su desarrollo para apoyar las necesidades específicas y el crecimiento de todos los niños, desde el nacimiento hasta el jardín de infantes. Las clases de edades mixtas son clases separadas, lo que significa que los padres/cuidadores pasan la mitad del tiempo de clase junto con su hijo y la otra mitad en educación para padres mientras el niño se queda con un maestro de la primera infancia.Category
