Your child’s relationships and interactions with teachers before kindergarten can have a huge impact on their learning experience and development. At The Gardner School, our highly qualified teachers understand the importance of establishing a warm and close bond with each student in their classroom.
A strong teacher-child relationship can build a solid foundation for each student’s learning journey, help your child meet developmental milestones, and thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
A Teacher’s Impact
Did you know that 90% of developmental growth happens by the age of 5? That’s why forming strong, healthy teacher-child relationships is so important. Your preschooler’s teacher helps set the stage for their learning journey and plays a key role in their social-emotional development and self-regulation.
Our teachers build positive relationships with students just as these children are beginning their early educational experiences. Teachers establish secure and healthy relationships with their students by actively listening to them and engaging in frequent positive interactions. These fundamental experiences help to build trust, encourage developmental milestones, promote social and emotional regulation, and cultivate a child’s ability to form secure relationships throughout life.
Building An Inclusive Environment
At TGS, we’ve created an atmosphere designed to ensure every child feels welcomed, valued, and supported. We partner with parents to understand the individual needs of each child, which allows us to customize their care and education. When our little ones feel a sense of belonging and acceptance by their teachers, they’re empowered to explore their learning environment with confidence and wonder!
Research has shown that quality relationships with teachers also benefit a child’s social skills with their peers. By demonstrating kindness, respect, and effective communication in every classroom, our teachers help children learn how to interact positively with others. At The Gardner School, cultivating relationships between students, teachers, and families is an important part of everything we do. This blog dives into all the different ways we teach relationship-building skills to our students.
Supporting Strong Teacher-Child Relationships
Our highly qualified teachers set TGS apart from other preschool programs. We provide our teaching staff with ongoing support and training to ensure they continue to deliver the best care and education to every child. When teachers are increasing their skills and knowledge, our students enjoy the benefits, and so do parents!
