About Us

Globe Star is About Gentle Teaching

WELCOME to Globe Star, a Gentle Teaching-based agency in northwest Indiana, providing direct, human services for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities since 1996.

Four locations serve families and communities in and around Chesterton, South Bend, Warsaw and Indianapolis.

The agency was established by Dr. Anthony M. McCrovitz and Amanda S. McCrovitz, MSE, J.D., who both continue to serve as Executive and Assistant Directors. Read More…


Our Vision, Values, Mission

Globe Star’s vision of navigating one’s life journey according to the natural inclination of the heart’s capacity to love, is about utilizing our human potential for observing and reflecting upon fixed elements (universal human values) and exploring, with others, how these values directly affect our daily living and social environment, and then the subsequent quality of life (physical/social/emotional) impact and influence this creates for an individual’s experience of life.

The vision to follow the natural path of the heart and navigate ‘by nature’  was inspired by the true, navigational story of Captain Marvin Creamer. Read More …


Our Crew and Community

An active and organized network of professionals contribute to the worldwide efforts of Gentle Teaching and its direct, beneficial outcomes for both individuals and service professionals.

Our community at Globe Star is comprised of direct service workers (caregivers), their supervising mentors, the individuals we serve and their families, our service-coordinating servant leaders, and our local business community. Also included are case managers and other health professionals who work with the Individuals. These professionals are outside of Globe Star, who collaborate with our agency, letting us work as a team. Read More…


Meet Our Management Team

Executive Director Anthony M. McCrovitz, Ph.D., LMHC, BCPC, IMH-E® (II)

For nearly three decades, Dr. McCrovitz has worked with individuals and their families to improve their overall quality of life, introducing and implementing Gentle Teaching-based frameworks of support that encourage and guide others in overcoming barriers of community integration. Establishing Globe Star in 1996 with his wife, Amanda, was an outcome of their worldwide vision to share Gentle Teaching with their own community in Chesterton, Indiana.  Read More…     


CARF Accreditation

Globe Star participates in a regular, in-depth review of its services by the Commission of Accreditation of Rehabilitative Facilities (CARF).

This accreditation processes add support to our internal procedures and accounting of quality services being delivered, and also offers added assurance to individuals, families and others.

CARF certification promotes quality rehabilitation services, by establishing standards of quality for organizations to use as guidelines in developing and offering their programs or services to consumers. Read More…

Our Mission

To mentor individuals with disabilities in achieving a quality of life that fosters interdependency within their own communities, building relationships with them that develop companionship and a sense of community (feeling unconditional acceptance and a sense of belonging with others).

Our Values

The design and delivery of our services and programs reflect six foundational values, shaping a culture of gentleness and supporting our vision and mission.

These competencies are regularly measured and assessed using a framework of gentle teaching, a quality of life model of service, and the processes of CARF accreditation.

• Quality of Services
• Social Justice
• Wholeness of Mind/Body/Spirit
• Interdependence
• Integrity
• Servant Leadership

CARF Accreditation

Where do we find compassion?

Compassion's presence dwells in our capacity to give and to receive. This ebb and flow dynamic of human interaction fulfills and sustains the nature and gesture of service.
