Education Team:
The Education Team helps to develop and promote all of the educational offerings for children and teens.
The curriculum is built to reflect ethical core values. The goal is to provide children with skills and knowledge to help them make ethical choices and learn to respect the inherent worth of every human being. Children are encouraged to respect and learn about themselves and their environment and to examine how their own ideas and actions impact the greater world.
Lessons are developed to aid with the exploration of the Children's Ethical Core Values through books, discussions, reflections, music, and hands-on activities.
It is fundamental to our mission as a multigenerational community to ensure that we have excellent programming for children of all ages. Programming for children and teens is something that attracts individuals and families to the our community.
