The programs that were researched in our group was Montessori, Young Families, Waldorf, and Roots of Empathy.

I really enjoyed hearing about Monetssori and Waldorf schools as it has always been a point of interest for me. I still sometimes have trouble seeing the differences between the two as they are very similar. I think in the future I would really enjoy to do some of my own research on them.

I loved that the common theme between all of the programs was one of respect and having things be child led. All are focused on different ways to go about that, but still are rooted in the same passion of caring for and supporting youth for a better future.
