Our Differentiators Baby's Space at Little Earth
Baby's Space isn't just high-quality childcare and education. We're different.
Differentiator #1: The full-spectrum approach.
Baby’s Space provides the model for creating “one-stop” child development center in which full-day, full-year child and family services and community engagement are all of equal importance. Our full-service childhood development programming engenders successful children, healthier families, and transforms neighborhoods of poverty.
Differentiator #2: Decisions from the baby’s point of view.
Baby’s Space is created from the baby’s point of view, in which responsive, consistent, sensitive, and warm relationships with adults are necessary for the child to succeed. Programming from the baby’s point of view is as much about the how as it is about the what.
Differentiator #3: Parent education from the baby’s point of view.
Our high-quality programming extends to parents and includes home-visits, parenting groups, parent-child play dates, Monday Morning muffins, monthly family events, and staff time dedicated for casual trust-building conversations and family support and advocacy.
Differentiator #4: Innovative learning environments from a developmental perspective.
Intentionally designed, unique learning environments in the Baby’s Space model are based on a developmental approach. These environments allow children and adults to play together in a space that encourages exploration and stimulates a child’s engagement with his or her physical environment, and with parents, teachers, and other children.
Differentiator #5: Focus on social, emotional development with a trauma-informed approach.
With a focus on social and emotional development, Baby’s Space emphasizes the important roles of consistent and responsive caregiving relationships, emotional regulation, and early identification of issues that interfere with learning. Despite the best of caregiving intentions, unexpected traumatic events, child maltreatment and neglect, and severe poverty impact the development of children. Baby’s Space teaching staff receives classroom coaching, training, and advice on how to create classrooms and interactions that support social and emotional development for all children.
