What are the ratios and teacher qualifications in both programs?
A. The ratios in the schools system are approximately 1 – 24 and at Peekaboo they are 1 – 10 for JK or combined JK/SK and 1- 12 for SK programs. School board teachers normally have a BA in education. Unfortunately, this education does not normally include extensive training on the development of 4 and 5 year olds. School board teachers are not normally given a choice of age group with which they would like to work. At Peekaboo both teachers in all our Kindergarten programs have an Early Childhood Education diploma. This training deals extensively with the development, education and behavior of children under six years old. Our Kindergarten teacher have chosen this age group because they feel it is an age where they can make a difference.
