Welcomed

Welcome Earth Parents! This blog is being created in hopes of offering us a place to find helpful, hopeful and supportive information as parents of preschool children (and beyond!). As a parent I loved the cooperative model of preschool education for my kids. I felt welcomed into a special community of loving and enthusiastic parents. Now, I am lucky enough to get to listen, observe and empathize as a parent education facilitator at that same preschool. My hope is that in posting themes and concepts presented in our parent education discussions we will create a shared resource for years to come. Parents and teachers are encouraged to share "best practices" and useful information, books and websites relating to all aspects of child rearing: nutrition, health & safety, positive disipline, personal experiences and lessons learned, fun things to do with kids, art projects, etc. This is an invitation only blog for our cooperative preschool only. While there are an overwhelming number of parenting resources on line already, I hope this can be a personal, high quality and practical place dedicated to the cooperative preschool model and parenting philosophy.
