Shadow Teacher (In-school Support)

At The Children’s Centre, we adopt a developmental, relationship-based approach.  We focus on development —moving beyond simply controlling and shaping behaviour. We aim to meet the child where they are, emphasise meaning-making to bridge the connections between children and their environments.

Our services prioritise understanding each child’s unique perspective, fostering meaningful engagement that promotes holistic development. We nurture relationships among children, their peers, and educators to create a supportive community. By helping children engage with their surroundings, we empower them to navigate and thrive in diverse settings.

We believe that every child deserves to feel a sense of belonging and connection within their classroom. Our services are distinctive because we employ a relationship-based approach, prioritising emotional safety and security to help children thrive in their learning environments.

What Sets Us Apart:

  • Emotional and Sensory Regulation: We prepare children’s bodies for optimal learning states, enhancing their ability to focus and engage effectively.
  • Peer Engagement: Our support fosters the capacity to connect with others, establishing a solid foundation for attention and interaction.
  • Effective Communication: We empower children to express their needs clearly, ensuring their voices are heard and valued.
  • Reciprocal Interactions: Our approach encourages children to share ideas and engage meaningfully with their peers, building essential social skills.
  • Environmental Awareness: We assist children in recognising routines, settings, and expectations, enhancing their adaptability and confidence.
  • Independent Learning: Our aim is to cultivate independence, enabling children to take charge of their educational journey.

 

As parent-hired support, our dedicated shadow teachers enter the school environment to work closely with each child, collaborating with educators and incorporating recommendations from professionals. By consistently implementing tailored strategies within a natural learning setting, we ensure that each child receives the personalised support they need to succeed.

Fees: Our rates are subject to the number of hours and location.
