Parents often ask for articles and good sources for information regarding child development and behavior. At SLC, we follow RIE, Montessori, and play based approaches. With all of these philosophies, our focus remains the same- to treat children with respect.

We believe our interactions with children should reflect a basic trust in them to be natural learners. SLC teachers make sure to actively observe children so we can provide positive reinforcement, redirection when necessary, and have meaningful interactions with the children.

For advice, we often go to Janet Lansbury’s website. She is a RIE associate and a true inspiration in the field. Please take a look for some great information!
