NOTHING WITHOUT JOY
ART OF MENTORING
Learning Experiences, spontaneous explorations and our daily rituals are our “curriculum”. and learning laboratory. They are the threads that weave regularly through everything that we do. They are our passions.
In our society, much focus is placed on the intellectual aspect of schooling, to the detriment of other aspects that are essential to humanity and the well-being of children…and our future.
This doesn’t have to be. Intellectual capacities do not have to be developed in exclusion of other vital aspects of our growth. We seek to awaken the whole child to nurture complete, fulfilled human beings.
The learning experiences represented here span our personal work with children from 18 mos to 3rd grade and over a period of 27 years. This website is newish and we are continuously importing learning stories from our other databases to include in this working portfolio. Please come back and join us regularly! Better yet, start a dialogue with the learners!
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”
“Black and white are the colors of photography. They symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is subjected.”
