Classrooms

Children are divided into groups (or rooms) based on age.

 Room  Age range
 Purple Door  1 – 9 months
 Blue Door
 9 – 15 months
 Green Door
 1 year 3 months – 2 years
 Yellow Door
 1 year 10 months – 2 years 8 months
 Orange Door 2 years 9 months – (varies)
 Red Door
 (varies) – 5 years

Except for the 2.9 starting age for the preschool room, these are approximations, which may vary slightly from year to year.

Ratios of grown-ups to children meet or exceed the guidelines set by EEC, the state regulatory agency for day cares.

Twice a year, parents meet with their child’s teachers for a formal conference at which teachers share their perceptions of the child’s growth over the year and parents share relevant information about their child. Special conferences can be arranged as the need arises.
