Proven and Successful Approaches to Child Education
At Growing Years Children’s Academy, we use two research based assessment tools as part of our teaching methodology: CLASS and ECERS.
CLASS (Classroom Assessment Scoring System) enhances effective teacher-student interaction which is a primary ingredient in high-quality early educational experiences.
ECERS (Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale) measures the comprehensive quality of the learning environment.
