Fostering Communication and Exploration within the Classroom and Community
- A ChildinU is a valuable resource for referring families who have students with extra needs/concerns (developmental, emotional, behavioral).
- Oxford County is a helpful communication resource as well as funding source.
- St. Mary’s High School and Life Academy are sources of co-op students.
- Staff and parents will have open communication facilitated by in-person conversations, emails, phone calls and written communication through SeeSaw.
- Staff will take the opportunity to speak with parents/guardians at drop off and pick up times. Communication will also take place through monthly newsletters, as well as our Facebook site through photos and anecdotes. Staff also make notes of your child’s development through photos and video posted on our SeeSaw program that every family is connected on upon registration. One of our goals is to build a child’s confidence in his/her abilities and coping strategies.
- Children will be observed and interacted with to determine where their interests lie. Adults will adapt environment and play materials to extend their interests.
- We aim to provide an hour of free choice play each day.
- We incorporate documentation of your child’s growth through observation, interactions and providing curriculum that grows with your child. In doing so we provide material with in the classroom that sparks interest in your child to be curious and wonder within the environment.
