My goals for your child:

• To develop self-esteem, not through praise and pretty words, but by encouraging competence in practical life experience
  
• To respect self as well as others, along with the environment
  
• To develop a sense of order and appreciation of beauty by providing routines in an organized, attractive environment, and by encouraging maintenance of order.
  
• To learn by manipulating and exploring thought-provoking (open-ended) materials, which lead to self discovery
