Child Honouring Schools ... Feedback
From Palmer, MA
I'm an educator who worked with children for 30 years. After college, I worked as a pre-school teacher for 6 years, and for the past 24 years I have run a private daycare from the bottom floor in our home. I have helped to raise many children including my own 3 boys in a warm and cozy structured learning environment in which we have followed a non violent philosophy....a philosophy similar to the one outlined in Child Honouring.

Pacific Spirit School is a child-centred school aligned with the Child Honouring Covenant and Principles. We endorse Child Honouring both because of its benefits to the education and well-being of each individual child, and because of the unifying perspective it provides for creating a better world.

We are planting 9 trees on our school grounds and then classes are naming them and adopting them so that they will be looked after throughout our summer. They are native to BC trees and were awarded to us by the Evergreen foundation.

I grew up listening to Raffi's music, and I clearly remember attending concerts with my parents in tow. As a parent of a two-year-old, I've introduced Raffi's music to her, and she loves it! Read more…

I want to thank you for the wonderful memories that you are giving to me. My 15 month old son, William and I listen to your music every day. I am also a teacher, and I use your music and books in my classroom. Read more…

I am a BG, and now a beluga teacher! Children are everything to me. I don't believe in anything as much as I do children. Child Honouring means so much because it puts one thing first ... children. Read more…

I am a beluga grad! I had the incredible pleasure of seeing and meeting Raffi at the BCMEA conference in Langly this past October and I just wanted to say that his speech and music was truely inspiring. It is really wonderful that some of that music is available to the public for use. I will definately be using them in my classroom.

Yes, I sang Baby Beluga as part of my science song book of songs and chants when I taught science to 1400 students at a year-round school. I made up hand motions to go along because many of my students were 2nd language (17 languages spoken on campus) and even if they couldn't sing it yet, they could join in the hand motions to get started.
