Supporting Emotional Wellbeing and Development at Insight Early Learning
At Insight Early Learning, we understand that a secure and nurturing environment is essential for your child’s healthy social and emotional development. The Circle of Security® is a highly regarded, research-based model that guides our approach to fostering strong, secure attachments between children and their caregivers. This model is designed to help children feel safe, supported, and confident as they explore the world around them.
What is The Circle of Security®?
The Circle of Security® model, developed by researchers at the University of Washington, highlights the importance of secure attachments in early childhood. It identifies four key elements of security that are crucial for a child’s emotional and social development:
-
Emotional Availability
Educators respond to children's emotions with empathy and care, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and understood. -
Predictability and Consistency
Stable routines and consistent expectations help children feel secure, providing them with a sense of structure and reliability. -
Structuring and Guiding
Setting clear boundaries and offering guidance helps children feel safe while encouraging their independence. -
Respect for Autonomy
Educators support children’s independence and encourage exploration while providing the necessary support and guidance.
Play. Discover. Grow.
How Insight Early Learning Integrates the Circle of Security®
At Insight Early Learning, we are committed to using the Circle of Security® to create a supportive environment where children thrive. Our educators are trained to provide:
-
Emotional Support
By being emotionally present and attuned to each child’s needs, our educators help children feel secure in expressing their feelings and navigating social interactions. -
Predictable Routines
We establish daily routines that create a safe, consistent environment, giving children a sense of stability and confidence in knowing what to expect. -
Guidance and Boundaries
Our team provides gentle guidance and establishes clear boundaries, helping children understand expectations while fostering their sense of security. -
Encouragement of Independence
We encourage children to explore and assert their independence while remaining close by to offer support and reassurance when needed.
Why Secure Attachments Matter
A secure attachment is fundamental to a child’s emotional and social development. When children feel safe and connected to their caregivers, they are more likely to develop positive relationships, build resilience, and engage in learning with confidence. The Circle of Security approach allows our educators to meet each child’s unique needs, promoting emotional wellbeing and setting the foundation for future success in life and learning.
At Insight Early Learning, we are dedicated to nurturing strong, secure attachments that help children feel valued and supported every step of the way. Through the Circle of Security framework, we ensure that your child is provided with the care and guidance they need to thrive.
