Meet the Founding Members
For us, it's about staying curious! Whether we're out on a nature walk, exploring in the backyard, growing a little garden or tending to the house plants, splashing in the lake or just swinging on a swing, we love exploring and making discoveries together. As parents and co-educators, we embrace the child-led philosophy for teaching & in learning. We happily support the early years of childhood development through hands-on activities, appreciation of literature, multimedia arts, techonology, math, and science, by guiding and gently encouraging our children.
