Education — Riverwood House

Background influences and educational approach?
Educationally, Riverwood House's path is that of Dr. Maria Montessori's influences on early childhood development [physical, psychosocial, and cognitive]. Additionally, we tend to gravitate towards the Italian-based Reggio Emilia approach to creative development while building a sustainable community. Both "approaches" propel such focuses for the program - transformation with the seasons and its effects on the body and the environment; developing a sustainable and conflict resolution community for young children and families; and, most importantly, nurturing all types of growth and the child's need for exploration, orientation, and order.

Why will the journey be a "LONG one"?
Well, we have only begun! We have a list or rather a diagram of fresh ideas such as continuing the support from the family/parent/community in East Nashville; following Department of Human Services licensing requirements, farm outreach project, work towards the recognition of a non-profit organization, and, a child's growth is never-ending and never-the-less...
