In addition, Just Like Home Child Care teaches a mixed-age curriculum that facilities peer learning and communal growth. In a mixed-age classroom like at Just Like Home Child Care, students receive open-ended, stimulating activities and are encouraged to move at their own pace. Younger students receive help and encouragement from older students, boosting their confidence and self-esteem, and older students get to lend a helping hand, teaching empathy and the joy of giving. Mixed-age learning replicates the best of a family or neighborhood group structure as children socialize with peers a little ahead or a little behind their own development path.
