Parent Education

Inquisitive Minds is a unique and individualized educational experience for students and parents. We strive to ensure that each student thrives within our hands-on classroom structure and benefits from our state-of-the-art curriculum. We place a large focus on social-emotional learning, which has lasting impacts on students' social and academic success later in life. We provide a daily "Social Circle" for most ages, during which students engage with activities, stories, and discussions centered around social and emotional topics.

We utilize Conscious Discipline as our classroom management strategy in our schools, which is what Parent Education Night has centered around. Conscious Discipline weaves social-emotional learning into most aspects and areas of the daily schedule to provide students with as many opportunities as possible to reinforce helpful habits and coping skills. 

Parent engagement in Parent Education Nights provides wraparound care for the students, as their parents learn what the students are learning and can therefore reinforce habits and skills at home to increase consistency for the child. It also allows the parents to understand the mission and values of IQM while honing their own skills and growing with their children!
