At BabyPlanet, we firmly
believe that children ought to be respected. We are proud advocates
of the THREE-R interactions :
Respect
Respond
Reciprocate
We recognize that each child is different in needs and wants. Our concept
of curriculum (plan for learning) centers firmly on connections and
forming meaningful relationships. Our educational focus on infants and
toddlers is supported by overwhelming studies confirming that the most
critical years of a child’s life are from the ages of 0-3 years
when the brain is in its most formative years.
During the first three years, when brain
growth is at its peak, parents and caregivers can make a tremendous
difference to their child’s subsequent vocabulary and IQ. Three
factors count :
• the quantity of language spoken directly to the child
• the quality of language the child hears and
• the caregiver’s style of interacting with the child
