“Children are miracles.  Believing that every child is a miracle transforms the way we design for children’s care.  When we invite a miracle into our lives, we prepare ourselves and the environment around us.  We may set out flowers or special offerings.  We may cleanse ourselves, the space, or our thoughts of everything but the love inside us.  We make it our job to create with reverence and gratitude, a space that is worthy of a miracle.  Actions follow thoughts.  We can choose to change.  We can choose to design spaces for miracles, not minimums.”
