Ramalynn’s mission statement is simply, “To teach young children respect, tolerance, and compassion to all life on Earth.” By demonstrating how everything on Earth—from ant to elephant—is connected, we help students see their place in the ongoing story of our planet. When they recognize they can make a difference in the world, students understand the purpose of their studies, the importance of independent thinking, the value of diversity, and the demands they will face as world citizens.
