My philosophy on parenting is...

"to meet the child where they're at and help them contribute based on their enthusiasm and capability. I've been inspired by mothers all over the world who understand that capacity changes with age and that responsibility and joy enhance each other. I see myself as a guide to becoming their true selves so that they can contribute to this world and society as only they can." - Ronda

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"We live in such a nice, quiet, and safe neighborhood. In our neighborhood alone, we have at least 4 different park areas to play in, we have amazing schools around us, with a highschool right outside our back gate. There's so much beauty where we live, and easy to travel around and always come back to home base. Our backyard is ready for a little one to run around in, and our neighbors are wonderful as well." - Jonathan
