What is Multi-Age?
In a multi-age classroom, children are grouped based on developmental readiness to acquire knowledge and skills, not on the basis of age. Grouping children so the age span of the class is greater than one year maximizes the benefits of interaction and cooperation among children with different experiences and who are at varying stages of development.
