What Educators Have to Say
Educators’ Endorsements for Kids Create Peace:
David Damico, BA, MA, Administrator and Teacher
“From many years as a school administrator and K-8 educator, I’ve learned that teasing, taunting, and name-calling – what we call “bullying” – can unfortunately begin in those early years. When schools do not counter such behavior, the chances of kids turning to a dysfunctional lifestyle increase greatly. The Kids Create Peace program teaches them how to avoid conflict by not responding with aggression to that of others, but instead changing a hostile environment to a cooperative one. These skills will serve a lifetime.”

“The program, Kids Create Peace, is timed perfectly to help young children change potentially stressful situations in their lives – at school, home, and play – to ones of cooperation and team-work. They are at a developmental stage at 5th grade where their imagination and intellect are especially receptive to learning new information and social strategies. I say this based on many years of teaching, elementary through high school, and special education kids. I wholeheartedly endorse this program!”

"I look forward to the day that One Voice of Peace steps foot onto my high school campus in our effort to plug the cracks through which all too many students seem to be falling: an issue of concern at schools throughout America. It's never too early to address this problem and, most definitely, never too late. Lives can be changed through this unique program, Kids Create Peace. As education is a team effort of students, families, and educators, no one should stand on the sidelines watching our kids fall through the cracks. Allow One Voice of Peace to extend a caring hand to your kids in need."

Jessamyn Dean, MA, CDPT, School Counselor
“Through my work as a school counselor, I see the profound need for our countries’ children to develop an understanding of the world around them and their responses to it. Kids Create Peace presents a practical and life-affirming foundation through a logical set of principles. The program they teach is one that not only strengthens children’s academic and social abilities, but also enhances the culture of schools and the community at large. I look forward to the day when Kids Create Peace will have reached national recognition. That will be a day of peace.”
