**Classroom ages are approximate. This decision to move a child to the next level in the center is left to the child’s teacher, who considers many factors when contemplating a move and who will consult with the child’s parents and the director. It is very important that children be developmentally ready for the next level in the Center. The primary factor in moving to the next group is the well being of the child. Transitions are gradual, so that a child can get to know the caregivers, the other children and the environment a little at a time.
