THIS IS HUGE! We have an anonymous donor who is challenging us to raise $15,000 towards our annual $30,000 goal, and they will donate $15,000 as well!
In The Classroom, Resources
Shared from the website Zero to Three, I wanted to share these suggestions, which offer some starting points for parents who want their children to develop a just and inclusive worldview.
Principles of Practice, In The Classroom
In this podcast, Steve Sachs, former co-director of Alaya Preschool, was interviewed on the Soul Path Parenting podcast about drawing on the wisdom of the Buddhist tradition to inspire Alaya’s approach to early childhood education.
In The Classroom
My son Odin is in Alaya’s Snow Lion classroom, and a recent discussion at the community night led to me writing this post about food and young children. I work as a speech and feeding therapist in the community, and I love helping families create happier dynamics at home and in life.
We all seem to be experiencing- to one degree or another- an unusual weight of adversity right now. To have tremendous kindness towards ourselves and to model this for others and for our children might be the greatest gift we can offer. We may not feel our best much of the time or be on top of our game. Can we accept this and soften our self-expectations?
