Taking Time
Planned activities, including music, movement, creative arts, cooking, science and dramatic play, all are designed to build each child's self image.
Bread and Roses staff members encourage an active thought process, creative problem solving and take the time to help children verbalize their emotions and resolve difficulties in constructive and fulfilling ways.
Staff encourage gentleness, sharing, assertiveness, intellectual development, athletic prowess and sensitivity in both boys and girls.
Lifelong Relationships
The Bread and Roses staff includes individuals who have dedicated a lifetime to a philosophy that promotes and appreciates the uniqueness of each child. Special dietary and health concerns are respected by all.
Family parties and potlucks, fundraisers and work days at Bread and Roses offer a sense of community for children and parents.
