Abstract
Founded in 1978 by Janet Lederman, the Gazebo School Park and its philosophy is about relationships. At the center, children are constantly interacting gratuitously with nature, animals and people as well as paper, pencil and computers. Children have the natural impulse to relate, explore and learn about themselves and the environment. Designing a context where the learning can take place rather than interrupting that learning process, is one of the biggest challenges that is faced by society. The Gazebo School Park with its unique and alternative approach to education serves as an important model as we face the current challenges presented in the ongoing restructuring of the educational and social system.
