At AISA, the early childhood program is based on developmentally appropriate practice, which means meeting children where they are, as individuals and as a group. Children reach challenging but achievable goals that contribute to their ongoing development and learning. This includes fostering student skills in the developmental (social & emotional, cognitive, physical, language, approaches to learning) and discipline-specific domains (literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts).   Our Early Childhood team is comprised of dedicated early childhood professionals; each member is committed to providing curriculum, instruction, and assessment that is intentional and founded in research-based best practices in early childhood education.
