Follow the Leader
Children listen, look, and model themselves after what’s around them. By exhibiting human kindness, you teach them to be compassionate little humans.
Humanity is not a lofty idea, it’s the heart of our daily life. It is what we say and do and how we treat others. It is the soul of our community, and it is what children experience and learn from every day. Building our humanity is fulfilling our true potential. It is not an option, it’s a necessity. And it’s not only for some of us, but for all of us.
Humanity starts with you.
Our Approach
Our Groundbreaking Humanity First Model Developed by Judy Jablon
To create the next generation of critical thinkers and leaders, we must ensure that every child has a sense of agency, that the child believes they can make things happen. This requires that children grow and learn in relationships with adults who are empowered to take positive action on their behalf. For this to happen, a humanity-centered holistic approach to early care and education that is inclusive, equitable, and collaborative is an imperative.
