What is a Learning Center?
"Individual children or small groups work and play cooperatively or alone on projects/prompts that they have selected themselves or are guided by the teacher. Materials and activities are concrete, real, and relevant to the children's lives." (NAEYC, 2022)

Establishing a Parent-Teacher Relationship
We would like to keep the lines of communication open all year long. We can do this with face to face conferences, phone calls, parent/teacher communication notebooks, daily folders, e-mail, ClassDojo, and/or this website.___________________________________________________________________________________________
