As your child grows, they become more aware of feelings and their actions to others. A smaller classroom provides your child with the benefit of fostering crucial relationships with their classmates to help with social development and school-related issues in an open and engaging manner. Your child also becomes more comfortable in the classroom to share ideas and their perspective, as well as ask questions about material they may not understand.
