Mixed Age Class
Give your child fun, stimulating learning experiences in our Mixed Age class.
Our Mixed Age class is for children who are 3-years-old (by September 1 of the school year) through 5-years-old. It meets four mornings a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:15 am to 12:15 pm.
Parents or grandparents have one workday per week in the classroom.
Learning through play
PNS embraces the joyful, spontaneous benefits children receive from exploring and experimenting in a safe and nurturing environment. We believe that this natural and essential activity called “play” is what enhances cognitive, social, and emotional development in children. The merits of play as a vehicle for imagination, discovery, invention, problem-solving, social interaction, self-regulation, creativity, role-playing, and language/literacy development are limitless. In our Mixed Age program, children begin to learn from each other.
