Our Multi-age programs provide stability for a group of children with their caregivers over a longer time,
known as continuity of care. Consistency of relationships is critical in supporting young children’s
development and learning. Multi-age program create a frame for deepening relationships for staff with
children and their families.
Providing multi-age program can:

• Increase the opportunity to build secure, attached relationships as well as support children’s
  social and emotional development.
• Provide ample time for caregivers to learn about the individual needs of the child and to develop
  positive working partnerships with families.
• Reduce the number of transitions for infants, families, and caregivers.
• Allow siblings and peer groups to remain together over time in a familiar setting.
• Also this program helps transition children between the infant & toddler program to our 3-5
  program.
