The Young Peacemakers Club is an integral part of Stepping With The Stones preschool curriculum.

Jerry and Bette Stone believe children learn foundational skills from birth until 8-years old. Thus, relational skills are taught here at SWTS. A serious goal at SWTS is to impact children for the sake of a more peaceful, violence-free world. Toward that end, a special activity at Stepping With The Stones is a Young Peacemakers Club. This innovative part of the curriculum is designed to teach children about peace and justice and infuse such learning within their everyday lives through games, music, art, drama, and storytelling, and other fun activities. Founder Jerry Stone teaches these peace lessons most weeks. Jerry and his peacemaker group wear Young Peacemakers Club tees during each lesson.

The mission of the Young Peacemakers Club is to enrich the lives of children through the pursuit of peace for all. The four cornerstones of the club are:

Peace for Me

Children discover the wonder and beauty within themselves, where peace truly begins.

Peace for Us

Daily relationships are explored, and the goals of cooperation and conflict resolution are stressed.

Peace for Everyone

Children examine the possibilities for peace within groups and community. Cultural appreciation and diversity are explored.

Peace for the Planet

Planetary stewardship and appreciation for the earth are stressed and examined.
