Our Philosophy
JAM Early Education believes in providing a safe, nurturing, and choice-filled environment through children’s independence, exploration of their interests, and expression of their individuality.
Our program follows the Reggio Emilia philosophy while teaching according to the brain development of children.
Our goal is to promote respect, individuality, kindness, independence, beauty, order, and a positive environment by incorporating the religious, economic, cultural, and educational diversity of children and families.
More Than a Daycare
Emergent Curriculum
Nurturing Young Minds
When we say our curriculum follows each child as an individual, we mean it! At JAM Early Education we utilize an emergent curriculum. Our teachers create their lesson plans weekly through a team collaboration and reflection on observations collected.
We utilize observations to capture a moment in time with the student to give us insight to the questions and curiosities they may have. An emergent curriculum allows us to follow the natural progression of interests that arise within the classroom. While following a schedule and routine is important, so is allowing space to follow the child and venture down a new, unplanned path.
Principle Based Approach
Guiding Growth
In order to support children in their earliest years of development, we have to understand it! All of our teachers participate in an eight month process of learning and implementing foundational principles. This goes beyond training and taps into the depths of our personal belief systems and alignment with research developed facts on child development.
When we allow ourselves to shift our thinking to be rooted in child development, we shift into a space to respect children and their thinking. Our training does not stop there. We believe that learning is lifelong. We provide consistent, ongoing professional development for each JAM Early Education teacher.
Child-Centric
Decisions
Putting Families and Children First
The partnership and continued collaboration between teachers and parents are crucial for ensuring the best outcomes for children.
The Reggio Emilia approach is rooted in children, educators, and families all walking an intertwined path together. This path supports the learning of all parties and most importantly, supports the highest potential of support for children.
