Course Overview

Join us for this series of four vitally interesting and important multi-media courses on how we might meet the spiritual needs of our children. A topic we may have never considered before, but just as children have physical, mental, and emotional needs, so they have deep spiritual needs. These needs are not dependent on religion, but religion is one of many supports we can offer.

In this first of four 12-hour courses, we will investigate what the spiritual nature of the child is, what his needs are what Maria Montessori had to say about this aspect of the child. You will be delighted to find a never-before seen chart of the spiritual stages of development that children pass though in their first decade. We will also talk about education for peace and what education can and should be.
