Lleana, from Raintree replied:
First of all, children are being given an opportunity to learn with their peer models. I think that the social/emotional development of all children in the early childhood setting is the most important component. Children need to see normal behavior in order to develop socially. The friendships between children and the understanding that develops is extremely important to me.

Shirley, from Bright Futures replied:
This truly is the child's least restrictive environment. All children are treated as children first and then as children with needs, whether special education, economic, social, or health. All children accept each other more easily and are more tolerant of differences.

Diane, from Bryan replied:
The benefits are overwhelming. The teachers feel good about themselves because they have stretched their horizons, and the other children in the program look at all children as valuable participants to our team.
