Culture of Kindness

Classroom Philosophy

Handprints Culture of Kindness has been established as a core pillar of our curriculum, providing every child with the opportunity to make a positive difference in their community.

In our classroom we:  

Use Kind Words and we speak to each other in the way we would like to be spoken to and this includes educators and children.

We Are Patient with the children as they learn this and when given the opportunity, we always promote kindness. 

Live By The Motto “I’ll play with you” as we understand that not all children are friends, but we believe in teaching all children kindness to each other and inclusion of each other.

Are Diverse and embrace individuality. Children are known to override their emerging skills in developing emotional regulation and kindness, when faced with a choice between familiar and unfamiliar. Therefore, by being diverse we will offer children a world where less is unfamiliar.  

THIS is a classroom of kindness. Our relationships, responses and reactions will all represent this.
