Class Size and Enrollment

Hobson attempts to maintain a fairly balanced ratio of boys and girls in each class, but has a non-discriminatory policy towards membership.  The maximum size of each class is governed by licensing standards at 20, so we can only have 20 children in each 3-day class.

The staff has decided that it is more beneficial for three-year-olds to be in classes of 18.  Parent/Child classes have 13 children each, with their 13 parents, that seems to be the maximum for our rooms!

 

Young children learn by DOING.  They observe, touch, listen, smell and taste.  They explore their world, discover new information and organize it in many ways that are meaningful to them.  Through this active learning process young children learn about the physical world as well as about themselves in relation to other children and new adults.  Our philosophy is based on current research in child development and early childhood education.
