What is Circle of Security?
The Circle of Security Parenting & Classroom approach is based on over 50 years of research on building secure attachment. Classes are presented in group format -- virtually or in-person -- and delivered over the course of eight consecutive weeks. During that time, participants focus on increasing their ability to better understand and meet the emotional needs of their children (for exploration and comfort), as well as reflecting on their own childhood experiences and how to those affect their current relationships. This research shows that caregivers — who are able to step back and look at what they’re doing and not yet doing to support the emotional needs of their children — are the single greatest protective factor for setting a healthy foundation for emotional regulation and social interactions.

Teachers & Childcare Providers
Are you ready for a new perspective on seeing behavior and struggle?
Whether you are in childcare, preschool/ Montessori or the school system, Circle of Security offers a new perspective on our relationships as the solution! We all come with our own history and lived experiences that shape the way we interact with and see the world and those around us. It is not a matter of IF those experiences will come up, but when. Research has shown that educators and childcare providers are hugely important and formative to the social and emotional learning of the children and students in their care, so the pressure to ‘get it right’ can feel even bigger. This classroom training approach offers tangible skills for self-reflection and regulation, so providers feel more confident to help their children and students do the same.
