COLLABORATIVE CLASSROOM
Our Mission
The Collaborative Classroom model is implemented across all Little Learners Academy locations to effectively meet the diverse needs of the children and families we serve. Seamlessly integrated into every classroom, this model combines best practices, developmentally appropriate strategies, and evidence-based approaches to support teachers and enhance the learning experience for children. We partner with early intervention services and local school districts to provide comprehensive support. The model also offers family workshops on early childhood development, specialized summer programs focused on social-emotional learning, community events, and collaborative family meetings that provide families with strategies to reinforce learning at home.
CENTER BASED SUPPORTS
Every Little Learners Academy has a Collaborative Classroom Team. Team members have been trained in various evidence based practices to help support classroom teachers and the children in your care. The Collaborative Team meets quarterly to discuss and review ways they can support staff within their building.
FAMILY SUPPORTS
The Collaborative Classroom holds bimonthly “Coffee & Conversations” to support families on various topics. These workshops focus on strategies families can implement at home with their child.
​
Collaborative Family Meetings are also available for families who may need more specific strategies
SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS
Get Social This Summer! is a summer social skills focused program designed by an Early Childhood Special Educator. This program focuses on developing skills in turn taking, perspective taking, social problem solving and supports students in social emotional learning. This program is embedded during your child’s day
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
The Collaborative Classroom also assists in hosting community events - Making Memories Events and Open Play . These events are designed to bring families and the Little Learners Academy community together to foster positive relationships.
