Juniors

Teachers in these groups help children grow in their understanding of their environment and relationships with others, as well as to develop positive attitudes toward school and learning. Children in this group start to expand their vocabulary and are introduced to basic science concepts such as weather, plants, and pet care, as well as identifying feelings and recognizing shapes. As they begin to establish friendships with other children, teachers help them understand their own feelings and recognize the feelings of others. The Juniors learn to follow directions, ask for help, solve problems, and deal with conflicts through positive guidance and support.
