Home – School Connection

A successful child’s education requires a strong connection between family, school, and community. A positive and trusting relationship between home and school is the key to a child’s overall development. At Little People, we foster a close connection between teachers and parents throughout every stage of a child’s journey, from the initial adjustment period to achieving significant milestones.

  • Initial Enrollment: Upon enrollment, parents are encouraged to share their child’s daily routines, including eating habits, sleeping patterns, favorite toys, and even non-verbal cues. This information is carefully recorded to help teachers understand each child’s unique personality and needs. The school implements a tailored plan to help children adjust to their new environment smoothly.
  • Weekly Updates: Teachers provide regular updates on children’s daily activities, learning progress, and health status through our communication platform. This not only reassures parents but also strengthens the bond between home and school, allowing parents to feel involved in their child’s daily life.
  • Parent-Teacher Conferences: Annual one-on-one parent-teacher conferences provide an opportunity for teachers and parents to discuss their child’s academic progress throughout the year. Development reports based on HighScope standards and the ESL program help parents understand their child’s achievements and the school’s future plans. At the end of each semester, parents receive a progress report to track their child’s development and work with teachers to adjust support plans as needed.
  • Parenting Workshops: Parenting workshops and HighScope integrated program workshops provide parents with a deeper understanding of our teaching methods, classroom models, and educational philosophy, fostering closer collaboration with teachers in caring for and educating their children.
  • Classroom Cameras: Our classroom cameras are shared directly with parents, allowing them to watch their children learn and play at any time. This transparent approach to management demonstrates our commitment to providing high-quality education and care.

The Story of Little People

“Investing in children today lays the foundation for long-term sustainable development. The early years play a crucial role not only in physical development but also in cognitive abilities and socio-emotional skills. Early experiences are vital in building human capacity, eradicating poverty, contributing to effective economic development, and eliminating social injustices.” – Unicef (United Nations Children’s Fund)

Early childhood education has been widely recognized by educational and psychological researchers as a cornerstone for a child’s future success. With the rapid advancement of knowledge, it’s questionable whether the skills and knowledge we equip children with today are sufficient to face a future filled with uncertainties and constant change. So, what will help individuals stay adaptable to future changes?

At Little People, we believe that the role of a kindergarten is to cultivate the foundational qualities of an individual who knows how to live a good life, a civilized life, always carrying positive values in both life and learning. As a preparation for the following academic years, children at this age need to develop a passion for exploration and self-confidence to be ready for future intellectual adventures. Based on this belief, we have discovered and been drawn to the “Active Learning” educational approach from the HighScope Foundation, USA.

“HighScope curriculum is uniquely designed to provide a rich academic foundation while promoting independence, decision-making, cooperation, creativity, and problem-solving in young children. The HighScope Curriculum includes learning objectives, effective adult-child interaction strategies, resources to support teachers with setting up the learning environment and individualizing their lesson plans, and assessment measures that help programs ensure a high-quality experience for all learners.” (Source: HighScope)

Raising young children is a challenging task, requiring teachers to be equipped with sufficient knowledge and practical experience in various fields such as psychology, brain development, pedagogy, and childcare skills, which not all teachers can accumulate in a short time. Therefore, the professional support from the HighScope team is extremely effective and practical with abundant strategies and resources that help teachers easily implement the educational approach proposed by HighScope. Another advantage of the HighScope Preschool Program is that the “Active Learning” classroom model does not require any extravagant material investment. Children learn to work with open-ended materials, readily available tools, and find ways to overcome challenges when resources are limited, creatively finding substitutes to complete their initial ideas without giving up. We find this to be a meaningful educational program that aligns with Little People’s overall direction of providing parents with more opportunities to access modern educational methods when choosing and directing their children’s education.

Finally, we sincerely thank you for your interest and visit to our “Communal House.” We hope you will take some time to learn more about the details of our program and the special things that our Little People can bring to your children every day. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
