Pape Children's House

PCH  believes that children learn best through play and inquiry that is directly rooted in their interests and daily life experiences. Educators develop daily learning opportunities based on their deep understanding of child development and the observed strengths, needs and interests of the children in their programs. PCH uses the Continuum of Development within Early Learning for Every Child Today (ELECT) and How Does Learning Happen pedagogy to guide their curriculum.

 

Our responsive approach to programming sparks children’s natural inquisitiveness and desire to learn. The environment is also adapted to meet the individual needs of the children. Our educators ensure we support the whole child by curriculum planning for all developmental domains. We respect that children have their own way of learning, and take this into consideration when planning. Our educators meet the children where they are, modifying their teaching styles as needed. Educators are highly trained to observe, acknowledge and identify each child’s strengths and needs, and adapt their program curriculum planning and learning materials accordingly.

​

To support communication with families, educators at PCH use an app called Lillio. This app enables the team to make profiles for each child, allowing educators to share children's learning, skill development, strengths and needs with families. Families can be updated through email, and notifications via the Lillio website and mobile app.

​

PCH also provides additional program enrichment on a weekly basis for our younger programs, and during March Break and Summer for our older programs.
