My students are currently sitting and working at their set tables all day long. My students are ready to move! Five and six-year-olds learn best in a safe learning environment, where their voices are heard and respected, and where they can take ownership of their learning through the power of student choice. With flexible spacing options, students are ready to take ownership by choosing a space that works best for them. Some students will be able to choose tables that provide movement, allowing them to meet in groups or individually.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
