Pillars of Natural Learning

Trust

With true meaningful learning, we must trust that our children are inherently capable of learning everything they want and need to know when they need to know it, on precisely their own unique natural timeline.

Motivation

Without motivation, there is no meaningful learning. A child must be interested in and have a reason for learning something for it to make sense and matter to their world.

Environment

The child’s environment acts as their vehicle to the world of meaningful learning. An organized and intentionally designed learning space gives your child the opportunity to engage in creative, imaginative, and investigative child-led discoveries that create the most meaningful learning experiences of all.

Connection

Adults who build meaningful connection with their children create safe and secure spaces for learning to take place. Fostering connection through observation, conversation, and engagement builds your child’s confidence and independent learning skills.

Rhythm

A child’s daily and life rhythm is key to their meaningful learning, as the security of knowing what, when, and where to expect what’s coming next allows them to safely explore the unknowns in the world around them.

Literacy

Intentionally chosen literature is a critical component of meaningful learning, as it enhances your child’s ability to connect to others, expand their ideas, and develop their own natural literacy skills.

Child-Led

It's important to drop your agenda and allow your child to lead! All of our resources encourage you to make room for and facilitate organic exploration and self-direction.
