SolBe’s Vision: The Future for Children and Families

by | Dec 29, 2023 | Resources

“I am optimistic that our collective vision and collaboration will create a brighter future for you and your child.”

What You’ll Learn
  • What is SolBe’s vision for the future, for children and families?
  • What does SolBe’s vision look like in practice?
  • Why is it important for me to share my hopes and dreams for my child and family?

As we get ready to embark on a new year (hello 2024!) I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on our growth and our vision for the future for children and families as a community. A vision is forward-looking and speaks to your goals and ideals for the future. It is inspirational and aspirational and challenges individuals to take action. A vision is more than just a hope or want, but also a goal to accomplish; and when we share our visions for the future with each other, we are taking one step forward.

 

SolBe’s Vision

As a community, SolBe’s collective vision is as follows: We believe that all individuals, parents, and families deserve to thrive. We believe that all children and their families deserve exceptional early learning and care experiences so they may live their lives to the fullest. As individuals, we also hold unique visions for the future. I, Rebecca Taylor, believe that all children and families deserve the opportunity to feel connected and supported by a community of trusted peers and professionals. Our collective and individual visions are not just a hope for the future; they are goals we are actively working towards and plan to accomplish to ensure the success of all children and families with their best interests at heart.

Now, we’d like to take this opportunity to share a bit about what our vision looks like in practice. At SolBe Learning, we are passionately committed to and continuously strive to provide the highest-quality education and nurturing care to children from infancy through pre-K. Our holistic approach integrates a play-based, emergent curriculum rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach, fostering a love for lifelong learning. Through personalized attention and a low student-to-teacher ratio, we prioritize each child’s unique development journey and curiosities. Our dedicated educators create stimulating environments that encourage exploration, creativity, and critical thinking, empowering children to flourish. SolBe Learning is more than a school; it’s a thriving community where children are supported, families are engaged, and learning is an adventure.

 

Beyond the Classroom

At SolBe, our vision to support families extends beyond the classroom. Through our social media presence, we strive to create a valuable resource hub for parents, caregivers, and educators alike. Our platform is designed to offer insights, tips, and inspiration that transcend the walls of our classrooms, providing a wealth of educational content, parenting tips, and developmental guidance.

Through informative posts and captivating visuals, we share expert advice, research-backed methodologies, and practical strategies aimed at nurturing children’s growth and well-being, SolBe’s social media platforms serve as a supportive community space for everyone involved in a child’s journey.

 

Parent and Caregiver Vision

While I can’t speak for every individual, we understand that parents and caregivers also want the best for their children. Generally, parents want their children to develop into well-rounded, kind, intelligent individuals. According to a recent survey on what parents want most for their children, the results showed that most parents were concerned about their children’s mental health, financial stability, and job satisfaction (Curley, 2023). 

No matter what your vision or hopes may be for your child, know that there are people out there who also share this vision and are willing to work to ensure the success of you and your child.

 

Collaborating for our Children’s Future

When we share our visions with each other, we may find that we are working to reach the same goal. We may also find that collaborating will help us reach this goal more effectively and efficiently. Parents and caregivers, the love you have for your child and your willingness to put their wants and needs first is unmatched. While nothing can compare to this, know that other people share your vision. We, at SolBe, similarly hope and strive to support children in their journey to thrive—we want what is best for them.

I am optimistic that our collective vision and collaboration will create a brighter future for you and your child. Here is to 2024: The year of endless patience, empathy, understanding, diligence, flexibility, nurturing, guidance, self-reflection, and emotional awareness. The year of working together to ensure our visions come true and our children thrive.

If you align with our vision of nurturing, supporting, and guiding your child’s growth, and if you’re keen on collaborating with a community and program dedicated to creating a brighter future for our children, we invite you to reach out and join our SolBe family.

Be Supported

We’ve felt the uncertainty that occurs when our children are in the care of someone else. At SolBe, we know you will always be your child’s first teacher; we’re here as a knowledgeable partner in your child’s education.

From our experience, children rise to the intellectual life of those around them, so we are committed to growing as individuals and as a team. You can count on us to provide a warm and engaging learning experience for your little one.

Be Inspired

We’ve spent thousands of hours in classrooms that either overstimulate, underwhelm, or actively prevent educators from delivering the highest-quality education and care. At SolBe, you’ll go beyond the traditional four-walled classroom.

Our award-winning, inventive and uplifting learning spaces stimulate the senses and instill feelings of home-like safety and comfort. They allow for your child’s, and our educators’, changing needs and emotions. They create room for wonder—for learning, and living, outside the lines.

Be Immersed

We’ve seen what’s lost when things are done the way they’ve always been done before. SolBe is an adaptive Spanish exposure program that refuses to accept the status quo.

Our inventive practices grow from the shoulders of giants, with roots in the Reggio Emilia approach, the Montessori method, and well-researched cognitive disciplines that attend to the whole child. We create opportunities to develop character attributes that your child will benefit from for a lifetime. Collaboration. Communication. Independence. Healthy risk-taking. Critical thinking. Emotional awareness. Resilience. Intellectual curiosity. Creative innovation. An authentic love of life and learning.

Be Well

We know what it’s like to forget to feed ourselves—physically, mentally, and emotionally. At SolBe, we understand it’s impossible for you to pour from an empty cup. And we do what we can to keep your cup full.

Our learning ecosystem is designed with children and educators—and you—in mind. Seed-to-table nutrition program. Yoga and mindfulness. An all-inclusive experience so you don’t need to worry about finding time to provide meals, diapers, or wipes (unless you want to). Evening and weekend family programs.
