Brief Course Description: This course will explore ways of providing nurturing, therapeutic and/or healing opportunities in classroom settings for young children who, for either internal or environmental reasons, struggle in their relationships with the people in their world. Our focus will be on young children; however, given the nature of the Master’s Degree, we will foster and welcome discussion about how our core values and principles might/can/should be in place in other settings besides the early childhood classroom.
