Reviews

'What I take away from Nokken is the lovely thoughts of a forest kindergarten, napping outside, using action to communicate with small children and not words, using singing as a way of talking to small children, Helle's constant inner work and development, her obvious love of the children. There are many wonderful things at Nokken, and many American parents who need child care would be thrilled to find a center such as Nokken in their neighborhood.'
