At City Greens Market we believe nutritious food is an essential component of a happy and healthy life. Food is our body's fuel. People unite around food - sharing meals and memories with family, friends, and neighbors. Our community should have access to healthy, fresh, and affordable choices to fuel our bodies and minds. And we can make this happen! City Greens Market sells products from local Missouri and Illinois farmers. And it's all sold AT COST. How are we able to do so? With the support of our members! We need your support! Our non-profit organization is supported through memberships. Houesholds with higher incomes (over $30,000) pay an annual membership donation, while families with lower incomes (under $30,000) join as members without donating. Then everybody shops at the same prices - AT COST! Instead of marking up our products to make a profit, our paid members make the profit for us. PLEASE HELP US serve our neighbors by making healthy food accessible. City Greens Market is a local food OASIS smack-dab in the middle of a food DESERT. FOOD FOR ALL!

The educational philosophy at Shaw Avenue Children's Center is demonstrated by the following: We include a diverse group of families and staff. Our smaller overall enrollment size and our small child to teacher ratios are comfortable for very young children. Our encouraging learning environment is formed by our knowledge of individual child development, as opposed to a school model based on age requirements. We promote the growth of children's emotional security and confidence as a foundation for their mental and physical growth. Teams of teachers model the decision-making and cooperation that we expect children to learn. The practice of our Peace Table process confirms that young children have the ability to reach mutually agreeable solutions.

Cornerstone endeavors to prepare students for a lifetime of positive social interaction and learning. We believe that children learn best from active involvement with all aspects of the world. From their earliest days at Cornerstone, students explore the beginnings of reading, writing, math, art and science as they play in water, pound on playdough, draw and paint, sing and dance, or cook and bake. Through "hands on/minds on" learning, they build the early foundations of autonomous behavior, taking responsibility for their learning, and accepting the natural consequences of their decisions.
