Our Philosophy
Here's What We're About
Our Philosophy
The purpose of Little Pirates Learning Childcare Center's facility is to focus through play-based learning and child development through the “learn through play” development model. In our program, we will explore outdoor play, indoor play, social cues, sensory integration, pretend play and much more. At Little Pirates, your child will interact socially with other children as well as our well-trained teaching staff.
Our mission is to be a holistic child-focused learning center that helps children to develop socially, physically, emotionally, and cognitively under the care and guidance of trained teachers and within a child-friendly environment. In addition, we create play-based learning environments that allow children to learn through discovery and experimentation. Our trained staff will oversee children’s play to always encourage and secure children’s safety.

Behavior Management Goals
A positive approach to guidance and discipline that fosters self-control and independence while maintaining a positive self-image will be utilized at Little pirates learning center. Our staff uses Pyramid Model and Conscious Discipline conceptual frameworks for behavior management. Staff will focus on teaching and modeling self-control techniques, as well as helping children develop the tools to resolve conflicts and problem solve. The following methods will be used to accomplish this:
- Routines and procedures will be set in accordance with what is developmentally appropriate for a child’s age group.
- Staff will teach and model appropriate behaviors.
- Staff will provide opportunities for children to practice appropriate behaviors.
- The needs of the whole group and the needs of the individual child will be taken into consideration with every activity.
- Procedures will be consistently implemented.
- Rationale for rules will be explained and related to the child’s well-being, and to the rights and safety of others.
- Staff will consistently evaluate themselves and the classroom environment, to effectively manage student behavior.
