The Tot's Spot

The Tot’s Spot advocates the benefits of a multi-age environment for young children as well as the concept of looping, children remain with the same friends and teachers for a three year period, beginning at age 18 months two years until the transition to kindergarten. Research demonstrates that children who are part of a looped classroom experience less stress, more instructional time and an increased sense of stability. The concept of a multi-age classroom in followed in Montessori as well as Waldorf (Steiner) Schools. A multi-age environment looks towards meeting the developmental needs of young children rather than just moving them through an educational system based on date of birth. Developmentally Appropriate Education is the goal of the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children).
