If we hope to create a more peaceful, compassionate and caring world, we must start at the beginning – and that beginning lies in our children. Being a parent and a teacher are humbling experiences, as there is no greater work than the work of bringing forth the next generation. Heard of the African saying – It takes a village to raise a child? We are privileged to be part of the ‘Herricks Village’ where parents, teachers and administrators share the common vision of providing an environment where children could flourish to their fullest potential.
