"IF A CHILD IS TO KEEP ALIVE HIS INBORN SENSE OF WONDER, HE NEEDS THE COMPANIONSHIP OF AT LEAST ONE ADULT WHO CAN SHARE IT, REDISCOVERING WITH HIM THE JOY, EXCITEMENT, AND MYSTERY OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN."
- RACHEL CARSON
At the Parent and Child Institute, we seek to create micro communities by offering a space , in the first instance, for those parents who work at home and-or are dedicated to raising their children full time. Also parents that work full time but want their kids enjoying a childhood in the nature with a caregiver.
This is a space for practicing conscious parenting and to reconnect with nature.
