Early Childhood Education

Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and “hands-on” approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English.  They utilize “props” or “manipulatives” to help children understand  abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes.
