      Our belief is that if we give children a good moral/ethical grounding early in life, and let the parents in on the ways we are doing it, and the consciousness we want to arrive at, children will become people who will change the world – children who take their beauty, love and joy to all parts of the earth and expand what is good about human beings. There are many influences that drive the philosophy of Peace Through Play Nursery School. One is the book “Putting Children First” by Elizabeth Erwin, Ed.D professor at Montclair State College. Another is “Because We Can Change The World” by Mara Sapon-Shevin, Ph.D and professor at Syracuse University, and most recently a book called “Child Honoring” by the world renowned children's artist and entertainer, Raffi Kervokian. These three influences speak so beautiful about how to create an inclusive world that honors, respects and is devoted to the rights of all children. Show less

      I organize a drum circle twice each month. These are free form drum circles that anyone can participate in. Percussion and drums are available. I'm available for events, organizations, companies and private parties that are interested in exploring and participating in this great community building experience. I, along with my wife have created drum circles at The Lillian Booth Actors Home, at the Unitarian Congregation of Rockland County, the Ethical Culture Family Weekend at The Stonypoint Center and this summer of 2013 at the New York Society of Ethical Culture in NYC.
