Raising Children to Be Passionate and Involved Citizens

Our mission at OakHaven Montessori School is to "...equip students with a solid foundation for life. Each child is encouraged to discover his or her unique purpose. We work together to create peace in this world." http://thedeliberatemom.com/raising-children/

A Manifesto Against ‘Parenting’

"Instead of valuing “parenting,” we should value “being a parent.” Instead of thinking about caring for children as a kind of work, aimed at producing smart or happy or successful adults, we should think of it as a kind of love. Love doesn’t have goals or benchmarks or blueprints, but it does have a purpose. Love’s purpose is not to shape our beloved’s destiny but to help them shape their own." http://www.wsj.com/articles/a-manifesto-against-parenting-1467991745

And if you allow yourself opportunity to be present throughout the entirety of the trek you will witness beauty every step of the way not just at the summit."

This morning, our campers had an opportunity to learn about important stretches and nutrition with Dr. Josh Fink from Midwest Family Wellness. We are so grateful to have such wonderful people in our community to bring programs like this to our OakHaven summer camp.
