A quote from one of our parents:
"In too many schools, the only place you hear the word 'respect' is that
the children are told to respect the teacher. At ACP, respect is in
everything we do: The children respect the adults and the adults
clearly respect the children. The children respect their environment:
they handle the items in the classroom with care, they clean up their
own messes, and they are given the opportunity to work with real tools
and items not plastic playthings. We respect time and space and
feelings. It is an attitude that flows back and forth between home and
school." Kendra S.
