Creating a Culture of Peace Through Global Education
A Holistic Approach to Education...
We believe Early Childhood education programs must involve the whole child: Body, Mind, Soul, and Spirit. Our model program concept is designed to meet children's developmental needs in each of these important dimensions.
The best and most natural learning environment for younger children is the household, so our concept school is a family-centered home, not an institution. Our learning environment is multidimensional, diverse, and dynamic, further facilitating optimal growth and development for young children.
Learning occurs best when children feel supported, encouraged, and guided by loving adults. Our teachers will follow an engaging, peace-centered curriculum while allowing time for imaginative play and creativity. Children can build a lifelong foundation for academic success and a healthy sense of self.
Consider helping bring this dream to fruition by donating or signing up to be a teacher or teacher's aid for our Children's Covenant House future school.
