About the classrooms and work environment: All of our classrooms use Conscious Discipline as an educational philosophy. If you are not yet familiar with Conscious Discipline, we are happy to teach you. In short, Conscious Discipline says that unless a child feels safe in their environment and loved by those around them, they are not in a brain state to be able to effectively learn. We create these safe and loving environments by instilling consistency and structure. We also build strong individual connections with our students and encourage social connections between peers. For curriculum, we implement the Creative Curriculum. To stay connected with the families we serve, and keep track of each child's daily progress and care, we use the Procare app. Our classroom sizes are relatively small compared to other centers. We are not a corporation, so we operate with more freedom than most centers and with a family-like feel. While we are a small center, we always have plenty of hard-working teachers and staff to make our days run smoothly, make sure our students are well supported and educated, and to ensure we are exceeding all of our rigorous safety and sanitary policies and procedures, as well as the Ohio Department of Children and Youth rules and Step Up to Quality requirements.
