The educational center of Le Petit Chaperon Rouge daycare centers works in synergy by associating theory and practice in a harmonious way. With the objective of transmitting and guaranteeing educational values that are based on the latest evidence-based research in education.
The pedagogical center is made up of a manager, a pedagogical adviser and 3 resource educators.
- The manager allows the harmonization of the theoretical sphere with the practical sphere within the pedagogical pole. By ensuring successful monitoring of all the projects proposed by the educational center, it centralizes information from the 7 LPCR centers and external partners in order to guide the actions of the educational center.
- The group’s educational advisor develops resources and projects. The transmission of its resources takes place in various forms. A quarterly magazine called “L’Escale” addresses various themes such as those of emotions or meditation in children. Articles are also offered every two weeks to maintain a continuous reflective dynamic. Training, resource and educational sheets as well as educational tools are made available on an interactive platform. The well-being and serenity of children and adults is at the heart of our practices. Thus, a well-being section is animated by breathing workshops, works of children’s literature and the sharing of meaningful conferences on the subject.
- LPCR is proud to have resource educators (RE) among its field teams. Their missions are multiple: present in the classes in the day care centres, their skills and their knowledge make it possible to support the teams in their educational actions with the children. They are a complementary element to the professional training offered by the educational consultant in order to link theory and practice. They also have the mandate to share their expertise to individualize actions within groups, for all children, whether they have typical or atypical development. The work in partnership between the educational center, the directions, our educational teams and all the members of the LPCR community demonstrates once again that educational quality is our priority!
The projects of the educational center:
Community of learners
Le Petit Chaperon Rouge is involved in the well-being of the planet and wishes to set up eco-responsible projects! Facilitated by the educational center, professionals from the 7 centers meet once a month to share, exhibit and discuss the activities implemented in their centers. Our goal: to nurture and inspire these budding adults to adopt the best reflexes to take care of the environment and awaken their awareness of the world around us.
The organic basket
LPCR is nourished by theories and key concepts for the development of children. It is in support of its educational values and in line with its commitment to the environment that LPCR offers in its menus a selection of foods from organic farming to restore the body and the mind in a healthy way.
The library
LPCR opens a new chapter by offering the possibility of borrowing books from daycare centres. These books are selected for their pedagogical and educational quality. They concern all kinds of themes such as sphincter cleanliness, sharing, emotions, biting, intimidation and life changes for example.
Personalized and individualized staff training
The pedagogy center offers individual meetings to professionals in the field to support them in their teaching practices.
Reflective meetings
The reflective meeting is an interactive meeting led by certified professionals from the educational center and is based on measurable objectives and evaluation criteria. Its intention is to offer a time for reflection and questioning of professional beliefs and practices.
Coffee-talk
A monthly meeting is offered by the educational center to support and enrich the discussions of specific and controversial themes. The objective is to offer a time for debate supported by various theories in order to facilitate the exercise of the parental function on a daily basis and to create networking between parents.
