Sign Up for Fall Trimester Field Trips--Click HERE
Volunteering
We need a volunteer for Tuesdays. You would be able to go on all the field trips without paying the participation fee. Many times there are options to carpool too. Before and after the field trips you and yours can come, play and learn at Raw Learning for free. Please let Gleamer know as soon as possible if you would like to volunteer on Tuesdays for the Fall Trimester.
Peaceful Parenting Discussion Group
Are you seeking more joyful and harmonious relationships with your children?
If you are, come check out our discussion group that meets the 4th Monday of every month. We meet to support one another as we explore and practice non-coercive parenting and consensual living. This is a parenting practice that values the wants and needs of everyone equally - regardless of age - and avoids power struggles through the creation of mutually agreeable solutions.

Time: 7 – 8:30 pm
Where: Raw Learning
Contact Person: Anne Hunter @540-885-0748
Children are welcomed.
