We came up with five guiding principles at Baan Dek. This first podcast in the series explores the concept of "We're all learning." As a school, we expect the children to always be learning, but we also have adopted that concept as fundamental for ourselves as guiding adults.

At Baan Dek, we're always trying to improve as an organization. We believe in growth so whole-heartedly, it's a fundamental part of our culture. Charlotte Wood discusses some of the ways we seek personal and professional growth, in the classroom and as a school, individually and as teams, for the benefit of all at Baan Dek.

Charlotte Wood and Jamie Bauer discuss some helpful tips, as well as tools they employ in the classroom to help children be successful with toileting.
