We are committing to raising resilient, confident and compassionate youth and children. We learn and explore together how we can live our values for a more just and equitable world. Our children and youth gather in small, multiage groups with adult guides for worship, rituals, free and structured play, songs, activities and stories to learn about and discover the joy of spirituality, a loving and caring community, and Unitarian Universalism. Multiage learning environments benefit all ages of children, older and younger, through role-modeling, mentorship, and social play. We focus on strong parent-teacher-staff-child relationships and have regular and ongoing opportunities for conversation to best develop and nurture each child. Our programs are in many ways tailored to the individual and collective skills and interests of the children and adults in the community.
