The Pyramid Model is a framework that helps caregivers, early childhood providers, and families support the social and emotional development of children from birth to five years old.

The model’s goal is to create positive learning experiences for children by teaching them social skills and helping them develop supportive relationships.

At High Hopes, we understand that social and emotional skills are the foundation for learning. We are proud to implement Pyramid Model practices and strategies to support and empower our learners and their families.

Differentiated instruction is a teaching approach that tailors learning experiences to meet the diverse needs of each child. High Hopes teachers adapt their teaching methods and activities to fit the unique abilities, interests, and learning styles of every child in their classroom.

Teachers may do this by creating a supportive environment that maximizes learning opportunities for children by adjusting activities, goals, groupings, and materials.

Differentiation does not mean teaching different things, but simply adjusting the level of complexity for each individual child to ensure all children are fulfilling their potential.

Providing our teachers with a high-quality curriculum ensures they have the tools, guidance, and support to deliver high-quality, consistent, and developmentally appropriate education to our students. High Hopes teachers utilize the curriculum, Learning Beyond Paper.

Learning Beyond Paper provides developmentally appropriate activities that are integrated into the Tennessee Early Learning Standards (TN-ELDS) including physical development, social-emotional skills, early mathematics, and language and literacy development. Learning Beyond Paper is an innovative curriculum with a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) in every daily activity.

At High Hopes, we believe in the transformative power of inclusion. Inclusion means welcoming all children in the same classroom, regardless of their abilities, backgrounds, or needs. It creates an environment where every child can participate fully, feel valued, and thrive.

In our preschool, we nurture and celebrate each child for who they are. By integrating children with disabilities alongside their peers, we offer a setting that values diversity and fosters acceptance. Our partnership with our pediatric therapy clinic enhances this approach by bringing therapists directly into the classroom for tailored interventions. This ensures that each child receives the support they need right where they learn. We are dedicated to embracing each child’s unique strengths and abilities, empowering them to reach their fullest potential in a rich and varied learning environment.

Peer Models

Our preschool offers a unique opportunity for children to thrive in a diverse and supportive environment. Classroom rosters are created intentionally to ensure that each child learns and grows.

Our educational framework is designed to prepare all children for success, providing them with the skills and knowledge they need for future academic achievement.

Beyond academics, our peer models also learn invaluable lessons in empathy and compassion, leadership, and social skills, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for the differences that make each individual special. Inclusion creates a richer learning experience for all children.

Procare Solution’s family engagement app immerses parents into their child’s day-to-day activities. From tracking developmental milestones to sharing photos and videos to enabling two-way communication, the Procare childcare mobile app provides information about their child’s day in real-time.
