Our goals are to nurture the hearts, minds and spirits of our children and families. We provide a safe, nurturing environment where each individual is respected for who they are. We value each child’s quest for truth and cultivate acceptance of one another’s truths. We encourage thinking, questioning, listening, perceiving and sharing. In our groups and classes, we uphold democratic process and emphasize fair treatment. With this approach we strive to help children:

• find their place in the universe and experience feelings of wonder for and connection to all of life;
• build a true sense of themselves as lovable and capable human beings responsible for determining the quality and direction of their lives;
• develop appreciation for the worth and rights of others;
• explore spiritual paths in order to clarify and articulate their personal beliefs and values; understand and act on their ability to work for positive change in the world; and
• gain an appreciation of the natural world and an understanding of their responsibilities to it.
