Tumbleweed Culture and Our Global Citizens!

We've spent the last five years fine-tuning our mindfulness around fostering

• Emotional awareness
• Emotional intelligence
• Emotional regulation

by supporting a healthy, secure space for children through

• relationships
• environment
• antishame, trust-based, predictive, emergent, community-oriented curriculum

which reflect a culture that values

• developmentally-appropriate, calculated risk
• empowerment
• the normalization of difference
• agency and ownership

so that we both model (by our actions) and support (for each child's actions) the ability to

• plan with intention and mindfulness
• act with awareness, authenticity, vulnerability, and presence
• reflect with a gentle openness
• grow by allowing our reflections to affect our plans, which affect our actions

In this way, we support children who are

• Intrinsically motivated, self aware, and authentic!
• Transpersonal!
• Resilient!
• Innovative, creative, and divergent thinkers!

These children will change the world

as the newest generation of

Global Citizens!
