This Week: Good Vibes for Summer

This time on The Children’s Hour, we immerse ourselves in good vibes for summertime fun with some excellence in Kindie music and a classic Bill Harley story about the terror of the high dive, and the power of unrequited love. Be uplifted with us and spread the joy of summer.

Next Week: Querencia Means Home

This time on The Children’s Hour we learn about the concept of querencia: the feeling of “home” in a place, and within our communities. Using poetry, imagery, history, music and sharing, we explore the elements of home with our special guest from the Center for Social Sustainable Systems, Alicia Chavez. Querencia is a sense of peace, belonging, purpose, resilience, and community.
