About the Provider
Educational Philosophy: The Early Learning Center (ELC) is an inclusive early education program serving infants to preschool-aged children. We use the Roots Approach, which is influenced by the work of Magda Gerber/Emmi Pickler/RIE, Early MTSS, CSEFEL Pyramid Model, and Brazelton Touchpoints. The Roots Approach is Responsive, Respectful, Relationship-based, Reflective Early Care and Education. Responsive: We believe that careful observation and attention in all our interactions leads to authentic and intentional responses. Respectful: We believe that all people- children, families, caregivers, colleagues- deserve respect. We recognize and value our unique perspectives, differences, and commonalities. In our interactions, we strive to try to understand each other, to build on strengths, and assume competence no matter the age. Reflective: We believe that reflection begins with curiosity. Reflective practitioners try to understand, ask questions, and remain open to feedback and change. Reflection may happen in the moment, before, or after an interaction, offering an opportunity to be more intentional in future interactions and help to build relationship and competence.
