SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS / CLASS STRUCTURE

Age Groupings:  Age groupings are generally based on the child’s age as of September 1 of each year.  Groupings are flexible and a child may be moved from one group to another to meet special needs. All but the youngest groups intermingle at various times throughout the school day according to individual interests, needs, differences, and capabilities.  Because the classrooms for children 3 years old and up do not have adjoining bathrooms and sinks, children who are not potty trained cannot be accommodated in these rooms.

Children who are at the Ark ten hours per day may experience three different teachers during the day:

1. Early morning teacher: Greets all children arriving by age group.
2. Preschool teacher:  teaches the preschool class, feeds children lunch and prepares children for rest.
3. Afternoon teacher: Supervises rest period (45 minutes), plans and engages the children in the afternoon activities
