this. is. why. i. love. the. multi-age. classroom.
our youngest student with one of our oldest.
connecting, honing compassion, learning new skills, modeling patience, finding common ground.
while there are no doubt challenges, this is the environment i find ideal.

I just recently found your blog when looking for ideas for how to do school time with my 2 1/2 year old and I love the atmosphere you create for learning as well as the many projects you have on here. Thanks for sharing!

We follow our state guidelines for a “preschool” which allows children who are at least 30 months and not yet in kindergarten (so if a child “waits a year” before starting, we can have children turn 6 while in our program).

I love when the older kids “adopt” one of the younger ones for a day or week. They’re so gentle and thoughtful and the little one feels so special!
