The Dibber Childhood

Dibber Child Development

The Dibber Childhood, which represents our pedagogy, is founded on the belief in children’s intrinsic value. Our pedagogy is rooted in early childhood research to support children’s well-being, development, and learning. At the center of everything is our Heart Culture which strengthens and broadens a child’s sense of character, connections, and social well-being and ensures intrinsic value and relationships come first.

Building on the environment created by the heart culture, we implement playful, holistic, and interactive learning experiences inspired by children’s natural curiosity and budding interests. In this way, children experience days filled with opportunities for new experiences, a sense of mastery, and growth at a pace that fits their needs. Competencies and skills are built into the curriculum to ensure we are nurturing well-rounded people that can navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

Dibber’s Heart Culture - the North Star for Everything We Do

At Dibber we believe that children’s development, health and well-being are directly impacted by the culture we create among employees, parents and the children themselves.

This is why we are so proud of our Dibber Heart Culture, which is our unique way of ensuring an inclusive and caring environment where we live our pedagogy principles every day. The culture is characterized by warm, engaging employees who create secure, interactive environments centered around children's needs and interests. In this, we aim for care and education to go hand in hand throughout the day – which we believe will make a loving and memorable childhood for our children.

The Dibber Heart Culture fuels our positive learning environment. It is one where children feel a sense of belonging and trust and where they are encouraged to explore.

The Heart Culture maintains this positive and child-centered learning environment by surrounding the children with positive role models who continual monitor and refill the atmosphere. By purposefully nurturing our Heart Culture, we know you will feel welcome and free to be yourself as soon as you open our doors.

Playful Learning, Interactions and Holistic Development

Children interact with the world with their whole self engaging their minds, bodies, senses and emotions. When we look at the child's development as a whole, where all parts of the mind and body affect each other, we call it "holistic development."

A holistic view of development and learning aims to see the whole child the whole day and leads the way to mastery and self-efficacy.

Research into the development of brain architecture affirms that all areas of development are intertwined in a child's brains and behaviors. (Harvard University, 2015) Therefore, at Dibber, we facilitate learning experiences that ensure children are using their minds, bodies, senses, and emotions in social interactions with others.

We create opportunities for them to seek, wonder, explore, and learn in a flexible and adaptable physical environment that allows them to develop in all areas.
