RULES OF EMPATHY: At Little Nest we have adopted the rules of empathy modeled from Vashon Island's Cedarsong Nature School. RULES OF KINDNESS: As naturalists we are committed to inspiring and teaching respect for the earth and all its creatures and this includes modeling and fostering respect for self and for others at all times. We shun competitiveness in favor of cooperative activities, guiding children into co-creative adventures. We have a zero tolerance policy for hitting, grabbing, pushing, name calling, aggressiveness or any other demeaning behavior. CREATING COMMUNITY: We strive to create a community among our Little Nest families. This is an entirely-outdoor school. We will be out in all kinds of weather, rain or shine. |
