Caring for the First Steps in Life: Courses for Birth-to-Three Teachers and Parents

Online Taster: A Spiritual Perspective of the First Years

The very young child has a natural connection to the spiritual world. As parents and caregivers, we can recognize this as a source of strength and support for the child. In this introductory talk, we will explore ways that we may help children maintain this connection through practical, everyday activities.

This is the beginning discussion in the larger conversation of a course designed to develop your understanding of the profound, developmental groundwork being established during the first three years of a child’s life.
