Our Philosophy: Play-Based, Love-Centered, Nature-Immersed

Some Quotes That Capture Our Philosophy

         – John Cleal

“Love doesn’t have goals or benchmarks or blueprints, but it does have a purpose. The purpose is not to change the people we love, but to give them what they need to thrive.  Love’s purpose is not to shape our beloved’s destiny, but to help them shape their own.”                    
       – Alison Gopnik, from The Gardener and the Carpenter

“Our capacity to love is an unstoppable essence that when nurtured can expand without limit.”
       ​– Pema Chodron

"Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like 'struggle.' To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now."
       ​– Fred Rogers
