Center Time: Language learning opportunities spontaneously arise throughout every part of the day. Each classroom is equipped with a comprehensive writing center that makes learning the alphabet fun! Degreed teachers carefully plan activities that encourage reading and writing.  Writing down what children say, or dictation, allows the children to use their own unique words to connect the spoken word with the written word.
