MEET YOUR CHILD WHERE THEY ARE
DON'T RUSH DEVELOPMENT
Each stage functions as the foundation for the next stage. If we rush, the foundations won’t be set and the student could struggle to develop. This happens to us as adults as well.
By building more awareness for each stage you can better support your students reaching their fullest potential.
