- Individualized Attention: In our classrooms, every child receives the personalized attention they deserve. Our dedicated teachers are able to connect with each child on a deeper level, understanding their unique strengths, interests, and learning styles. This individualized approach allows us to tailor our curriculum to meet the diverse needs of our students.
- Meaningful Relationships: A close-knit classroom environment fosters meaningful relationships between students, teachers, and peers. Children feel a sense of belonging and support, enabling them to build strong social skills, empathy, and cooperation from an early age.
- Enhanced Learning Opportunities: With fewer students in each class, there is more room for interactive discussions, hands-on activities, and collaborative projects. Our teachers can delve deeper into subjects and encourage active participation, creating a dynamic and engaging learning experience.
- Comfort and Confidence: Small class sizes create a comfortable space where children feel confident expressing themselves and asking questions. This nurturing environment cultivates a sense of curiosity and a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
- Holistic Development: Our holistic approach to education is amplified by small class sizes. We focus not only on academic growth but also on nurturing emotional intelligence, creativity, and critical thinking skills. With the time and attention our teachers can provide, children have the support they need to develop into well-rounded individuals.
- Flexible Teaching Strategies: With fewer students, our teachers can adapt their teaching methods to suit each child’s pace and preferences. Whether a child learns best through hands-on activities, visual aids, or group discussions, we have the flexibility to tailor our instruction.
- Peaceful Learning Environment: A smaller class setting promotes a calm atmosphere where children can feel comfort and safety while they are away from home. This is especially important for our youngest learners who may be experiencing school for the first time.
- Improved Safety: In a childcare setting, small class sizes play a vital role in ensuring the safety and well-being of each child. With fewer children to supervise, caregivers can maintain a higher level of vigilance, swiftly addressing any potential hazards or concerns. This personalized attention enables caregivers to establish stronger connections with each child, ensuring their comfort and security.

At Camelback Holistic Preschool, we believe that a child's early years are a crucial time for growth, development, and building a strong foundation for future success. That's why we are proud to offer a holistic preschool experience that is enriched by our commitment to maintaining small class sizes.
The Impact of Smaller Class Sizes:
Our Classroom Breakdown:
- 1-year-old room – Littles (Friendly Foxes): Our 1-year-old room has a maximum of 10 students with 2 teachers in an open floor environment designed to encourage movement and exploration.
- 2-year-old room – Toddlers (Curious Cottontails): Our 2-year-old room accommodates up to 13 students with 2 teachers, offering a mix of open floor and table play to enhance fine motor skills and provide opportunities for tabletop activities.
- 3-year-old room – Preschool (Learning Lizards): Our 3-year-old room hosts a maximum of 16 children with 2 teachers. This environment introduces small group learning focused on pre-literacy and foundational math skills, combined with self-directed and teacher-directed center play.
- 4-year-old room – PreK (Inquisitive Owls): Our oldest classroom, the 4-year-old room, prepares children for kindergarten. It continues to utilize small groups as literacy and math skills emerge and offers a mix of self-directed and teacher-directed center play as more complex topics are introduced.
Most students will complete between 1/2 and a full year of kindergarten curriculum during their PreK year.
