Developmentally Appropriate:
To develop self-confidence and positive feelings toward learning,
teachers provide opportunities for students to accomplish
meaningful tasks and to participate in learning experiences in
which they can succeed most of the time and yet be challenged to
work on the edge of their developing capabilities. Teachers
know each child well and design activities based on their
knowledge of individual children's differing abilities,
developmental levels and approaches to learning.
Responsiveness to individual differences in children's abilities
and interests is evident in the curriculum, adult's interactions and
the environment. Tri-Village teachers provide many
opportunities for children to work in small groups, whole groups
and individually. Our teachers prepare learning environments
that foster children's initiative, active exploration of materials and
interaction with other children.

Teacher planning:
Sponteneity always has a place in the classroom. However, the word "curriculum" conveys teacher
planning. Just as no two students are alike, neither are any of our two teachers. Tri-Village is
privileged to have teachers who bring a variety of talents to the school. Their personal styles
influence their individual classrooms, curriculum and create an exciting atmosphere in cooperative
ventures such as carnival and multi-cultural exchanges. Students' interests, teachers' interests,
developmental skills, and resource materials are all sources of curriculum ideas as are people,
places and things from a child's immediate physical and social environment. Tri-Village teachers
use any combination of these sources to create an enriched learning environment for our students.
