Independence

Working by yourself is something that is not perfected until later in life, but it begins now.  Having rotations in preschool teaches two critical things: 1. How to do things on your own. 2. Independent thought.  When a child has to work things out themselves, this makes critical connections in the brain.  Connections that will deepen over the years.  Why is that important?  Research has told us that a lot of critical brain development happens until the age of 5.  So exposure to a lot of topics, environments, people and situations can only have a positive effect on the development of the brain in this critical time period of a child's life.
