Groups
At Peace Tree, children are placed in an environment that meets their developmental needs. Typically by the ages shown below, but children are encouraged and given opportunities to interact with others outside their age range. This helps model the family structure where older children can feel like mentors and role models, and younger children are supported and can gain confidence in the challenges ahead. Teachers model respect, loving kindness, and peaceful conflict resolution.
