WHAT WE DO

Our mission is to support adults supporting children during life’s most critical period of human development. We offer coaching for parents, families, teachers, assistants, and school leaders to provide this support. Learn more here: thepeaceprogram.as.me/discover

WHERE WE ARE GOING

Our vision is for children to reach their developmental potential and thereby find peace within themselves that they can bring to the world. We enhance the Montessori Method by adding a layer of support around the adults on either side of the classroom door to access community, education, and expert guidance.

WHY WE EXIST

We exist because the time is now for peace and peace is only possible through the liberation of the child from the oppressive systems that constrain their ability to develop as they are trying to. Our programs are essential to the well-being of children. Too often, the adults around children rely on punitive, oppressive methods of correction - even when trying to implement the Montessori Method. Having a guide creates less stressed, more proactive, developmentally-aligned adults in the lives of children. Get started here: thepeaceprogram.as.me/discover

HOW WE SHOW UP

We value self-reflection, self-care, responsiveness to being/becoming Anti-Bias / Anti-Racist, and a deep commitment to the whole child within the whole family. We keep our values front and center in all of our programming. We invite every community member and stakeholder into our spaces with these values in mind.

WHERE WE STAND

We stand in solidarity with Black, Indigenous and People of the Global Majority against racism and the systematic oppression of People of the Global Majority. We use our programming to uplift the work of Black, Indigenous, and practitioners/ families of the Global Majority so that we may live into the values of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.

The PEACE Program operates on the unceded territory of Huchiun, part of the ancestral land of the Lisjan Ohlone people who traditionally speak the language Chochenyo (currently occupied by the City of Oakland, CA).

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I hope you join us in contributing to the Shuumi Land Tax, a voluntary financial contribution that non-indigenous residents can make to support the acquisition and preservation of local land for Indigenous people. If you live outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, I encourage you to find, honor and acknowledge the Native Land you live on. Read our full Land Acknowledgement Here
