Creating a safe and caring classroom and school children and families.
With the belief that parents are a child’s first teacher with school as a supportive partner, staff at A Child’s Place can better help children learn and grow. The Pyramid Model focuses on valuing children and parents as partners. Teachers want children to learn skills that will help them do well in school, and help them do well in life. Pyramid Model practices help support these goals.
