The Paidea Advantage
![Paidea Childcare - Director's Role](image/icon_director.png)
This keeps Paidea focused on its educational mission rather than financial gain and results in a strong team working together to benefit our children.

A balance of IQ (academics) and EQ (emotional intelligence) is necessary for success. EQ skills are learned skills and the earlier they are taught, the bigger impact they make. EQ skills matter more in life’s success (choices, friendships, marriage, career) than IQ.

Every decision is based on what is best for children. Teachers who are committed professionals in the field of early childhood education, who feel supported in their work, who value and believe in Paidea’s philosophy, and who form long term relationships with children and families is clearly what is best for children.

This results in a true partnership between school and home and creates a strong Paidea parent community. Parent education is included in tuition.
more![Paidea Childcare is Flexible and Affordable](image/icon_Affordable.png)
We offer full and part-time schedules to meet individual needs. Our liberal vacation policy includes 2 weeks during the school year and 6 weeks during the summer.
more![Paidea's Focus is on the Process of Learning, not the Product](image/icon_Process.png)
At Paidea teachers provide a variety of materials for children to explore. Teachers support children in figuring out how they want to use the materials and coach children to stay engaged in what they are doing. This method of teaching increases focus, attention span, and encourages independence and problem solving.

Research is proving how children benefit from rich experiences outdoors, in natural environments, and with nature.
more![Paidea Talk](image/icon_PaideaTalk.png)
At Paidea, we embrace a common language that we have come to call “Paidea Talk”. This is taught to parents at Parent Nights or in 1:1 meetings with Sarah.
