Little Chicks Learning Academy believes in the importance of trust and attachment. Our philosophy, from guidance to parent partnerships, is based on our belief that trusting relationships are key in development. Our looping program supports our belief in the importance of trust and attachment as children stay with their caregiver as they move through the program.
Guidance
We believe that prevention is the key to successful guidance. By creating an environment that is filled with appropriate materials and activities, teachers are able to support active play and exploration. Within this environment, teachers provide children with age appropriate choices that keep them engaged and interested; thus, reducing conflict and increasing positive social interactions. Our prevention strategies encourage social developmentturn taking, self-mastery, conflict resolution skills and the likein addition to helping children understand and express their emotions and the emotions of others.
When situations arise where adult intervention is necessary, our teachers use their understanding of child development, their understanding of the individual child and their understanding of the importance of trust and attachment in redirecting children. Teachers provide children with appropriate alternatives, help children develop pro-social skills and aid children in understanding emotions as they work through these situations.
