Our core values are to bring to the family our understanding of Erick Erickson's stages of development in order to have a foundation on which to engage and relate to children.

We believe that health can be maintained through a vegetarian or vegan diet and recommend www.veggiefest/chicago.org as a resource for menues and expert advise about childrens dietary needs.  We  also recommend Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis RD and Vesanto Melina MS, RD.

We believe in inspiration and creativity and foster childrens growth though providing resources that engage them and spark their imaginations.

We believe that children who learn manners will be accepted by their peers and be happier people in society.  Some behavioral techniques are required if the child is aggressive.  We promote positive praise, attentive listening and open ended questions.   We recommend www.nonviolentcommunication.com as a resource.
