The Community Learning Guidelines and the Life Skills are taught every morning through activities, music and role play.  While the children use their multiple intelligences to process the learning, the teachers model these life skills.  Throughout the day, teachers notice and encourage the use of these guidelines and life skills in the hope that they become integrated into the child’s way of being.  We encourage you to talk to your child about them and practice them at home.
