Conscious Vision

A conscious approach to education views students as active participants in their learning rather than recipients of knowledge. Conscious Pathways is a mindful approach to reimagining education for social equity, justice, and innovation. Teaching children to be culturally conscious critical thinkers who are empowered to to speak out and stand up against injustice should be as routine of a practice as teaching academics, appropriate social interactions, and life skills are in the early childhood classroom. 

Conscious Mission

Early childhood educators feel confident and prepared to address diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom. Educators, Parents, and Community members shall understand the responsibility they hold in ceasing the cycle of prejudice and injustice by developing a critical cultural consciousness.
