NOVA Institute
www.novainstitute.org
The NOVA Institute seeks to bring fresh insights into parent and teacher education through a deeper understanding of children.  This understanding is based on a comprehensive view of human development, focusing on a child's need to engage in three distinct ways:  actively, emotionally, and thoughtfully.  When parents and teachers help children to develop good habits of hand, heart, and mind, young people become well-rounded individuals who can embrace life, love to learn, and have an abiding concern for their fellow human beings and for the Earth.
