A child who attends school for five days each week will have the greatest opportunity for consistent spontaneous learning. Consecutive attendance is extremely important during the Primary program. It enables the child to feel safe and relaxed in the classroom and aids the child in forming strong bonds with their teachers and friends. A child taken in and out of school frequently does not have the same opportunity and consistency to pursue his unfolding interests.

Early childhood specialists agree that young children thrive in a secure, consistent environment with a steady routine. Young children adjust very well to this schedule and bond most easily with their teachers and peers when they have five consecutive days in their school community, which quickly becomes a beloved and special place for them. The steady rhythm of coming to school creates a continuous curriculum, gives the group a sense of social cohesion and  allows for time with the materials. It also gives the children a strong feeling of belonging to a community that they help create, and of which they are valued and respected members.
