educator training program
1. Child-Centric Approach
Our training program begins with helping educators unlearn traditional methods to fully embrace a child-centric approach. This foundational training ensures that our teachers can foster an environment that supports each child's unique path of discovery and learning.
2. Respecting Children
We train our educators to cultivate respect for each child’s voice, choices, and individuality. This respect is critical in creating a nurturing and supportive learning atmosphere.
3. Safety and First Aid
Ensuring the safety of our students is paramount. Our teachers receive thorough training in safety protocols and first aid, equipping them to manage any situation effectively and confidently.
4. Observations and Feedback
Educators are trained to observe children's interactions and learning patterns thoughtfully. This training helps them provide meaningful feedback and adapt teaching strategies to meet the evolving needs of each student.
