We know you wouldn’t trust just anyone with your child’s learning. Either would we. That’s why we have a long version of our story. So you know we actually know our stuff. Our approach is based on the outcomes of our research on transformative learning – that is, how we learn to transform our lives by changing what we know (Halber, 2012). Our unique learning model stresses mindfulness, relational and personal growth, and embodied and situated engagement. The focus is on learning that is hands on (experiential) and learning that shifts or changes our perspective of self, the world in which we live and our role in it (transformative). It also includes building STEAM literacy (science, technology, engineering, arts and math). Everything we do draws on a unique combination of our research outcomes, our learning model, education and experience with children and our intuitive wisdom to help you make the most informed choices possible.
Our 5 Pillars of Transformative Learning
EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS INTERCONNECTED. A child’s learning is interconnected with their health and wellness. Build their health, improve their capacity to learn.
COMMUNITY. Even though you are an expert on your child you can’t do it alone. Having people who know on your team is one of the most powerful ingredients in growing children.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY. We help you put the joy back into learning. Each child is born with an inner spark. Find the spark, gently blow and help them grow authentically.
INFORMAL LEARNING. Some of the most important learning happens outside of school with children’s families and communities.
SELF CARE, SELF CARE, SELF CARE. Without your wellness you cannot grow healthy, happy and whole children. That’s why, we built a whole area on our website devoted to YOU and your self-care called the Caregivers TLC Corner. Let us help to empower what you already know. To help you connect with what you feel and see in order to claim your own inner child rearing wisdom.
