Children's Rights Day

11/10/2016

As Reggio inspired educators our focus extends beyond the provision of a child's basic educational needs. It is a given that we will be tracking the major developmental domains of each child in our care, that we will provide a safe and healthy environment, that we will be fostering nurturing relationships, and that we will apply universally held early childhood education theories.

Our practices extend beyond the provision of needs and into the incorporation of Children's Rights. Loris Malaguzzi's definition of children's rights guides our teaching practices...

Children have the right to be recognized as subjects of individual, legal, civil, and social rights; as both source and constructors of their own experience, and thus active participants in the organization of their identities, abilities, and autonomy through relationships and interaction with peers, with adults, and with the real and imaginary events of intercommunicating worlds

(Malaguzzi, 1994)

Sunday, November 20th is International Children's Rights Day. We invite you to help us celebrate Children's Rights in the upcoming weeks.

About Timberline:

We are a school for young children from ages 6 weeks to 6 years. Our approach is Reggio Emilia inspired. The following principles guide our approach and curriculum: The child is an active, strong, competent collaborator in the evolution of their learning. The teacher is a guide, rather than an instructor, who observes, questions, researches, documents, reflects, and interprets. The classroom is a teacher unto itself! The relationships that develop between the children, their families, and the teachers create opportunity for growth, reflection, and support. Long-term projects are at the core of our program, using the children’s interests, and the teacher’s observations, as the guide.
