Transforming Environments for our Miracles


Children are Miracles.
Believing that every child is a miracle can transform the way we design for children's care.
When we invite a miracle into our lives we prepare ourselves and the environment around us.
We set out flowers or special offerings.
We may cleanse ourselves, the space, or our thoughts of everything but the love inside us.
We make it our job to create, with reverence and gratitude, a space worthy of a miracle!!!
Action follows thought.
We can choose to change.
We can choose to design spaces for miracles, not minimums.

What can happen when we see the world through a child's eyes??? Authentic learning is what happens. It is observing and discovering children's natural interests, their family life, and community become rich sources of meaningful curriculum. Let us work towards finding those stories around us and making those stories visible and learn together.
