| Abstract: | Children in intentional communities interact with a wide variety of adults independently, observe many parent/child relationships, and experience their parents in roles other than parent. Informal learning experiences about subjects not usually available to children abound. Integration into a community promotes childrens' academic and social development. Recommendations of educational councils actualized by intentional communities are cited. (TD) |
