I believe in a small group setting as to not overwhelm the child They are slowly introduced to socialization,sharing,developing fine muscle and gross moter skills.We attend field trips at family place (moms and tot's)so not only do the children bond with us they are also introduced to new friends of all ages.Crafts,music,storytime,song,gives everyone a chance to find something that they can be passionate about.I only offer encouragement and praise so that they have a positive self image and outlook on life.
