Overview
Early childhood handles the most rapid cognitive development in a human's life. This stage introduces structured play, early exposure to spiritual concepts, and socialization. Through the "Shared Parenting" model, the burden of early childhood care is distributed across trained staff and communal parent rotations.

The Shared Parenting Model
Instead of a mother or father dedicating 100% of their time to child-rearing in isolation, the campus operates a sophisticated day-care and early learning center. Parents rotate shifts, covering a few hours a week while professional caregivers handle the majority.
