• Implementing Lesson plans: Our teachers design lesson plans that target the developmental goals of every child in their classroom. Lesson plans should be active, inventive, and effective in reaching developmental benchmarks and having fun while learning.
• Ensuring Child Engagement: Staff must engage with the children consistently throughout the day. Relevant scholarly literature shows that exposure to constant, pro-social language from an early age is a strong indicator of success later in life. Our teachers openly engage with children according to their developmental levels throughout the day.
• Maintaining Classroom Safety, Cleanliness, and Fun: Our teachers utilize the classroom environment to set the conditions for children’s’ success. We accomplish this by maintaining a clean and structured that facilitates crucial play and exploration. It is important for each child’s developmental success to maintain consistency and positivity.

• Following KIDS Place Positive Behavior Support guidelines: The KIDS Place is an early learning center that endorses Positive Behavior Support (PBS) to affect positive change in our student’s lives. Our teachers, through their positive language and demeanor in the classroom, are the primary embodiment of this impact. Teachers must record children’s’ behavioral data and follow the behavioral protocols unique to each classroom.
• Behavior Management: Teachers must be willing to learn and implement new behavior management strategies. The KIDS Place uses alternative behavior management strategies and evidence-based practices. Many of these strategies are new to teachers unfamiliar with Applied Behavior Analysis. Teachers learn how to work with children with disabilities in one-on-one settings, and acquire the tools to work with both neurotypical and atypical children.
