Dandarius Cavallaro's Page

We "Dandarius" are Daniel & Darlene Cavallaro - shared first name instead of last name. We do not like to call ourselves "parents" nor the young boys we are stewarding our "sons" - we prefer to call them our "employers" and call ourselves child stewards...it feels good to reshape and restructure our world in this way and it really helps to break away from the patterns associated with terms that we use.
Jade & Jaron have been unschooled since birth - in the beginning when academia was a consideration we worked with the Oak Meadow Waldorf curriculum and still use aspects of it now. We became aware of the "unschooling" term and model a few years ago and were elated that we had just been organically implementing child led learning. We joined this forum hoping to connect with people who may be compatible with our family and cultivate some relations so that Jade & Jaron can meet and learn about other children who are being raised with "enough structure to stand and enough freedom to grow."
