Children
Sunward provides a very safe environment for children. Community members tend to be watchful and keep an eye on nearby children, playing or intervening as appropriate. Kids (and adults!) enjoy walking, biking, roller-blading, and riding scooters on the pedestrian paths. We have extensive outdoor play areas and kids space in the Common House. Cars are not usually allowed on the pathways.
Children at Sunward may get to know all or most of their neighbors, often developing close relationships with non-family members. Children are encouraged but not required to participate in the work of the community.
