the power to create a personally meaningful life, one that is a
continual process of discovery and joy. We regard childhood as a
magical and determining moment in life, when curiosity and wonder
illuminate experience. We introduce children to new concepts and
skills when they are developmentally ready to make sense of them …
when they can become meaningful. See More Videos We are committed
