About Us

"We have heard the statements, 'Our chldren are our most precious resource,' and 'Our children are the future.' Both slogans urge us to value children, but not as children, in their present lives.  They urge us to value them for what they can contribute in the years ahead." - William Crain Reclaiming Childhood.
