š Welcome to the Innovation Family š
Community Guidelines Rooted in: Inspire ⢠Liberate ⢠Innovate ⢠Connect
At Innovation Learning Lab, weāre building more than a learning spaceāweāre nurturing a community where everyone feels seen, safe, and supported. These guidelines reflect the Innovation Way and our belief in creating space for freedom, brilliance, and authentic connection.
⨠Quick-Glance Community Commitments
Hereās what it looks like to live out our values:
š” Inspire ā Be a model of curiosity, kindness, and creativity.
š Liberate ā Choose compassion and agency over control and perfection.
š§Ŗ Innovate ā Embrace mistakes, take ownership, and grow through action.
š¤ Connect ā Show up, lean in, and care for community like itās home.
š Community Guidelines by Core Value
š” INSPIRE: Lead with Curiosity and Kindness
We believe every interaction has the power to uplift, model self-awareness, and encourage discovery.
Example: If a child is struggling to start an activity, ask questions like: āWhatās sparking your interest today?ā rather than pushing a specific outcome.
Speak with intention and kindness.
Encourage one anotherāespecially across age groups.
Let curiosity guide rather than judgment.
š LIBERATE: Make Room for Voice, Choice & Growth
We trust that children and adults flourish when their full selves are welcomed and respected.
Example: Instead of fixing a conflict for a child, ask: āWhat do you think would help next time?ā and support their sense of agency.
Mistakes are a part of learningāfor Innovators and adults.
We believe in reflection, not shame.
Repair is expected and encouraged, in all relationships.
š§Ŗ INNOVATE: Think Boldly & Create Freely
We welcome fresh ideas, creative thinking, and outside-the-box solutions. Innovation is sparked when we feel safe to take risks, experiment, and reimagine whatās possibleāfor ourselves and our community.
Example: A project doesnāt go as planned? Turn it into a new challenge. A class idea brewing? Share itāwe value your voice and vision.
Bring ideas to the table, even the wild ones.
Celebrate mistakesāthey often lead to breakthroughs.
Encourage curiosity-driven learning and creative freedom.
ššæš CONNECT: Welcome In & Build Belonging
Connection is built when we go out of our way to include others, find common ground, and make space for every voice. We believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued in our community.
Example: A new family walks ināinvite them to join your conversation. Notice someone sitting alone? Ask them to play or sit with you.
Take the first step to include someone new.
Look for shared interests to build bridges.
Make kindness and welcome part of your daily rhythm.
š¬ Support & Communication
We encourage open-hearted communication and curiosity when things feel unclear.
