The fundamental principle of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is that children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships. 😊 We foster a warm and caring environment where children feel safe and secure. 🥰 We also encourage parents to be involved in their child’s learning and development. 🙌 How do you build positive relationships with your child? Let us know in the comments below. 👇 #EYFS #PositiveRelationships #ParentPartnership

Early Childhood - Caring for Animals Care of plants and animals is part of the Practical Life curriculum and an important part of Montessori education. Care of pets can be a perfect way for young children to develop a number of skills along with many positive character traits. Including live animals in a child’s daily life greatly enhances their abilities to learn responsibility, empathy, and compassion for other living things, respect for life, and the natural development of living things. The lessons that are instilled in a child through caring for animals will remain with them for the rest of their lives. #careofenvironment #careofanimals #responsibility #empathy #compassion #socialemotionallearning #respectforlife #alwayslearning #handsonlearning #experientiallearning #capable #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #privateeducation #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington

To continue on the little series I'm going to call "Accessible Education Is Better" I'd like to elaborate on point two: "Accessible Education" could be used for disabled people of all ages as opposed to "Special Education", is generally used for children". In all of my unlearning and relearning about how we talk about disability, I keep coming back to this very simple phrase: Disabled children become disabled adults. Disability doesn't stop at 26 and neither does education. Education, of course, includes learning concepts in a classroom with an instructor...AND it includes day programs that teach employment skills. It includes community-based programs that host cooking programs for teens. It includes community-based accessible sports camp for adults. When it comes to disability education, anything can be learning opportunity. Which means anything can be made accessible. Thus, anything can be considered accessible education.

School Readiness: The EYFS framework includes goals for personal, social, and emotional development, communication and language, and physical development to ensure children are ready for school. Preparing children for school is about more than academics—it's about fostering well-rounded growth and readiness for the world. #SchoolReadiness #ChildDevelopment #EYFS #EarlyLearning #PersonalDevelopment #EducationMatters

This 👇 Your tip for the so-called ‘hard to engage’ There’s a lot written about different learning styles - auditory, visual and kinaesthetic - like a lot of characteristics, they’re not static. When housing and other colleagues describe people as ‘hard to engage’, it may be this simple - presenting the information in a visual format. Better still - start by asking the person how they want the information to be presented. This unsolicited feedback on our facilitation style at Your Own Place CIC sums up how to reach people. All of our workshops - with absolutely everyone - use techniques that cater for the range of learning styles - meaning people are a lot easier to reach 💡 #workshops #learning #learningstyles #neurodivergence #housing #homelessness #tenants #tenancy #tenancysustainment

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) shapes policies and systems to ensure people with disabilities are treated fairly and can fully participate in society. It sets basic rules that guide how laws and reforms are made to support the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities. This helps prevent discrimination and promotes equal opportunities for everyone. Learn more with these two new workshops #PD #professinaldevelopment #training #PwD #ndis

The SDG4’s goal to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education starts with our little steps of acknowledging that people learn differently; and identifying the best ways to ensure learning takes place regardless of our learning (dis)abilities. I am researching on how to make learning inclusive for everyone regardless of their learning (dis)abilities. Your input will be valuable to us.
