Holidays Supplemental Insurance About Us Play and learning at Kid
Angles is about the process, not the product. Children are able to
reach their potential in each domain of development through our
play-based,Reggio Emilia-inspired practices. We believe that
children are capable of complex thinking, curious, independent,
full of possibilities, and competent. They are capable of exploring
and constructing their own findings. Children are wonders: they
question everything, develop a deeper understanding, make
predictions, and communicate their discoveries. The environment is
meant to be a third teacher, playing an important role by sparking
a child’s interest and inspiring wonders. The environment will
provide learning experiences in response to children’s interests
with intentional materials that promote deeper thinking skills. The
materials provided will enrich the environment by allowing them to
bump into literacy and math throughout the day. An educator’s role
in this type of classroom may look very different than most. (And
it takes some time to get used to this idea!) Said by Loris
Malaguzzi, “Stand aside for a while and leave room for learning,
observe carefully what children do, and then, if you have
understood well, perhaps teaching will be different from before.”
This quote says it all. An educator’s role is to work as a partner
in learning. We are to provoke children’s ideas, model questioning
and researching attitudes, and listen. The Director’s role in our
facility is to manage day-to-day operations, working closely with
educators and families to ensure a successful program. The Director
adjusts and implements effective policies and procedures that
promote the program's philosophy. The Classroom Mentor’s role in
our facility is to onboard and guide educators in classroom
management, curriculum development, and implementation of Reggio
Emilia-inspired practices.
