LA PETITE BALEEN’S MOTTO
Our motto at La Petite Baleen is “Pace, Pattern, Compassion and Fun!” These four components keep us focused on very important teaching ideas, which are essential to our vision and program.
PACE
We know that movement actually helps the young brain absorb information more readily. Pace keeps the child engaged and is part of a good physical fitness program. La Petite Baleen wants to be a part of your child’s physical fitness for life. Children who are not physically moving get bored easily and lose concentration. Pace and energy excites and invites children to learn.
PATTERN
Orderly progressions make sense to children. Skills are quickly assimilated especially when children see a beginning, middle and end. Children respond particularly to patterns and sequential drills. When they know what is expected from them, they spend their energy on learning, not wondering what will happen next. Patterns allow for repetition, which is the best way for children to learn.
COMPASSION
A good teacher is kind, but an excellent teacher knows when to push and when to hug. Empathy, balanced with love and discipline is instilled in our teaching staff. Our teachers are highly trained to read body language and open up the line of communication with their students. We believe that feelings matter, good teaching matters and children matter.
FUN
For children, fun is a serious matter. It keeps their spirits open, which invites creativity into the classroom. This makes learning fresh and fun. Learning and accomplishing new skills is better than candy to any child. Making learning playful and exciting is key to accomplishing our goal of teaching children to love swimming.
