Classes meet from September through May and consists of 10-12 students with at least one teacher and an aide. Classes of 6 or more students receive a dedicated aide, assigned just to that class. Classes of 5 or less students receive a rotating aide.
One of our most important philosophies is to teach the children, not only to be kind to one another, but also to advocate for themselves when others are not kind. As we are teaching tiny people, a lack of understanding of personal space is very common. Social skills are of prime importance. When we see a behavior that might be aggressive or beyond respecting personal space, we try to catch it in the moment as it is a teachable moment.
Our protocols are based on the following concepts:
1. Recognizing that we all have a right of personal space is key.
2. Recognizing that everyone has a personal "bubble" and it should be respected. Obviously, no hitting, pushing and the like.
3. Learning self advocacy for themselves as an important life skill.
4. Learning when and how to get help from a trusted adult.
5. Conflict resolution skills. See protocol below.
6. Preventing possible conflicts when needed.
7. The goal is to seek reconciliation with one another, not victory over another person, or punishment.
8. Redemption of any infraction is not only possible but an important goal.
Our protocol is as follows:
Upon seeing a conflict arise:
We bring the children out of the area of conflict, have the children face each other, look at each other and we say, "Tell your friend that you don't like _________." We make sure that the words are both spoken and heard, that the words are acknowledged and that there is a commitment spoken to refrain from what ever the infraction might be. The spoken words by the children are important.
The animal of the child who displayed inappropriate behavior will be moved down on their behavior chart, and they will move it down themselves. Depending on the time of day, they will have an opportunity to move their animal back up.
Repeat as necessary. Separation of those in conflict may be practiced until the principle of respect is learned.
